[Sri Aurobindo and the Mother]

I was the 19th century poet myself, perhaps, trying to take revenge!... The lines are coming just anyhow, even after a head-breaking concentration! To see things happen this way after so much labour is very disappointing and discouraging.

If it is a rebirth effect, it will obviously take time to get rid of it; no use grudging the labour.

I couldn’t understand clearly whether Z could take the vegetables or milk or both.

[Mother:] Both can be given if she is ready to take.

S (a new-comer) complains of weakness, loss of appetite... He requires some “pick-me-up”, I suppose. Shall we give him something?

[Mother:] Yes.
