At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

04 April 1932

MYSELF: Mother mine, how sweet it is when you write so frankly about what you want of us. I have never tasted the joy of having no desire as I do now.

I have found out one thing, Mother. Please tell me if it is true that singing in the open air on the terrace causes a strain to the throat, often followed by a crack in the voice.

SRI AUROBINDO: Perhaps when you sing it is better to do it inside; for when singing in the open one is usually led to strain or force the voice.
