At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

04 May 1934

MYSELF: I observe that I have a softness towards my own writing, which does not seem good to me. So I decided to give it up. Why should there be such a strong attachment? One day perhaps the book will be finished or it may not. What does it matter? I haven’t come here for writing. So today I feel light. It is up to you to say if I am right or wrong.

SRI AUROBINDO: I think you are right. There should be no attachment to the work — if it is to be done it will be done hereafter as well as now.
