[Sri Aurobindo and the Mother]

“Creation born from his motionless delight ...”

Motionless delight? Have you experienced it, Sir?

Of course. Why on earth shouldn’t delight be motionless? What kind of delight should the immutable Brahman have, for instance, if not an immobile delight?

[Dilip’s telegram:] “Nirod Asram Pondicherry Arriving tomorrow evening train Heldil”.

Guru, this is from Dilipda – Heldil is not he, of course. But who is it then? Can your Supramental Intuition solve it? But mine has: it is H of Hashi, e of Esha, l of Lila,– Dil of course, you know. What do you think, Sir, of my Intuition? He perhaps thought he would beat us!

I don’t see how he could with the Dil there to illume the Hel.

Sanjiban has pain in the throat: tonsillitis and pharyngitis. I don’t know if I should give him any gargle, as I understand you like to leave things more to Nature.

[Mother:] In some cases gargles can be quite useful.
