Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
The Mother as you know had suggested to X not to seek a sentimental reconciliation with you so as not to start again the old circle. But the position created has been misinterpreted by X as the result of an unforgiving rancour, aversion, enmity on your part against him because of his ... and he has been so much upset by it that he declares it impossible for him to stay here under such conditions. I have told him that there are no such feelings 
in your mind, but he does not believe and instances such incidents as your going away suddenly when he offered some typescript to you before others as a proof of the truth of his interpretation of your attitude. If both had accepted the situation, our purpose in creating it could have been carried out; but in the circumstances it is not possible. Not only will his sadhana be frustrated, but there will be a reaction from the atmosphere upon you. We there fore withdraw the arrangement we had made. It is better if you have an explanation together and you let him know that you bear no grudge against him for what had happened and are perfectly willing to be friendly and it was only because you understood that he himself had not wished for it that you have held aloof. What precise relations there will be between you you will have to settle together. You will let me know what happens and I will write to you farther.
