Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

26 January 1946

Mr. P has talked to me a number of times about your decision to first take up the printing of C's book and said that in your opinion it did not matter if the publication of the periodical Aditi was delayed. I must say I failed to see any sincerity in his argument. I know about his anti-Aditi attitude and his pro-C inclination. I felt definitely irritated listening to him. I aspire for the guidance of the Witness status.

My dear child,

The witness has only one thing to tell you in connection with this affair: "Look carefully, very carefully and honestly, inside yourself and you are bound to find a strongly pro--Aditi [view] and, as a consequence of the present circumstances, an anti-C attitude." [It is only] when we are spontaneously [free from] preferences that we can see fully the truth of things and of events.
