At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

06 June 1934

MYSELF: Another thing I notice is that my family-feeling has become uppermost in my consciousness. I quite understand that it has to go. I see that at first something crops up from within, then I become conscious of it, then follows the resolution, but to carry it out needs time. This is the habitual trend in many other things. In this matter it is clear that I have to give it up now. There is will and determination. But they are not put in action. Perhaps some time has to be given as in other cases. Am I right?

SRI AUROBINDO: The habitual movement in the consciousness which persists or revives from time to time has to lose its hold and disappear.
