At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

10 July 1933

MYSELF: I went to hear the part-recital of a famous drama in someone’s house. I liked it, I must say, but the inner being doesn’t respond as before in a different atmosphere. I enjoyed it but not with my whole self. Some part watches always the movement of other parts. Nowadays many things which remained at one time unnoticed, are now easily detected, because the vision has turned inward so that I am becoming clearer to my own eyes. Therefore it is no longer possible to enjoy things, in a state unaware of myself. There is always something watching one’s varied movements.

SRI AUROBINDO: It is a great and indispensable progress to have reached this condition.
