At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

01 July 1932

MYSELF: Mother mine, I am feeling a little depressed for the attachments that live still in me; I know how little importance you give to these things, but I don’t know why they have become so important to me. May I know? Am I giving them too much importance or is it going to be like this? Why cannot I take things in an easy way if it is so necessary? I am writing to you because I cannot forget the thought about my attachments and that thought makes me feel I am so incapable and this sense of incapacity depresses me more.

SRI AUROBINDO: There is no reason to be gloomy and it does not help but rather hinders. See these things quietly with the full confidence that they will be removed as early as possible.
