Waste of Leisure Time

1944-09-30

Mother said to Sri Aurobindo: “Some people, when they have ample time at their disposal, spend it in drinking, playing, talking etc. They waste their time in drama, and cinema too. Among thousands, I have hardly seen anyone who knows how to make use of his time in the proper way.”

Sri Aurobindo: “Has rationing done some good?”

Mother: “Yes. Generally the English food is very heavy. I had an experience of it when I was there in England during the War.”¹
