At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

08 November 1933

MYSELF: Sri Aurobindo’s letter has made me healthy again. I was completely closed within. My abhimāna about you went on increasing till it ended in revolt, finally in madness. That’s how I was in its grip and suffered a lot. There was no will at all. I won’t write further; the body is utterly broken.

SRI AUROBINDO: We are very glad to know that you have recovered. Your true self got covered up by a dark cloud of a foreign Force. It covered up your reason and took from you your will. You must always in future turn back from any movement that allows this to come in. At the least trouble turn to take refuge in our protection and love.

(8.11.33)
