He used to regret his inability to understand his mother-tongue fully.

He writes, "When in 1907 Sri Aurobindo was arrested and released, Bhupalbabu came down to Calcutta from Shillong with Mrinalini to meet... my life as a pedagogue, why not marry?" Sri Aurobindo's answer was very strange, indeed. I am afraid it is not at all in keeping with his character. Was it then Dutt's invention which he was quite capable of at times? Or was it Sri Aurobindo's trick to cover truth with truth which he also used to employ? At any rate, it seems like Page 23 putting off a child with a facile answer. We have ...
