Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

October 11, 1938

Guru, do you see the overhead reflected in this poem? I’ve hammered it!

I don’t know but the overheadache is also reflected, which accounts for the number of alterations that have to be made.

What’s this, Sir? My feverishness persists!

Why on earth is your body so attached to the headache and fever?

I don’t suppose an illness has any salutary effect on sadhana, that it should linger, what?

Not in the least – needn’t keep it on with that idea!
