Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 4

Fragment ID: 13318

It is quite possible that if a too intense Ananda is allowed before the purity and peace are in the nature, it may disturb the system – though I don’t know whether there is any instance of madness as a consequence. At any rate it is a fact that normally Ananda comes (in the natural course, I mean, if not pulled down) only occasionally so long as the peace and purity are not there as a base. It is probably right that it should be so.
