Dilip's Correspondence with The Mother

21 September 1932

Dilip,

Without waiting for Sri Aurobindo, I answer your letter at once, because truly I cannot make out what is the matter. ...Nobody is displeased with you, neither Sri Aurobindo nor myself; we did not dream of it a single moment. Before you wrote yesterday, I had repeated to Sri Aurobindo what I told you in the morning and when he read your letter he saw that you had not understood me, so, in his answer, he explained what I meant. Did you read his letter? If so, it must have been very hastily. Please read it again carefully, quietly, several times if necessary, and you will see that you have no ground to think that we are displeased and to despair, but on the contrary good reasons of being full of life and joy, as all I wanted to convey to you is that you know the Divine and have His Presence in His Ananda form, in spite of your thinking to the contrary.

So, I expect you to cheer up at once and to write informing me that the clouds have dispersed and the sun is shining bright once more.
