Indra Sen's correspondence with the Mother deals mainly with the running of the Ashram Press during the period 1945 to 1947 and letters on education in 1965.
The Mother : correspondence
THEME/S
I would like to understand the nature of a child. The day before yesterday you said that right from the age of three, more or less, a child's psychic being is "in front", but as a result of intellectual education it is pushed behind by mental formations. Is it possible to educate a child by keeping the psychic being always in front?
Yes, it is possible, provided the educator himself remains always in the psychic consciousness.
Isn't a child mainly a vital being?
He is vital in the sense that the mind is not sufficiently developed to govern—it is the vital that has the upper hand.
19 September 1947
