Sri Aurobindo : corresp.
THEME/S
MYSELF: Mother, today my concentration was amusing. When the mind was becoming one-pointed various thoughts began to enter in and when I took interest in them, I observed with a startle that the consciousness was moving from inward to outward: the concentration was all on a sudden losing itself in various useless thoughts and then again getting collected — so, there is a tendency for the movement to get externalised. Am I right in my observation?
SRI AUROBINDO: That is the present nature of the physical mind — its motion is outward.
