"Trust in God"? Personal or Impersonal? Tell me
instead, "Trust in Me", that would be comforting, tangible and practical.
All right. It comes to the same thing in the
upshot.

I took J to hospital for her ear, but the E. N. T.
doctor found instead vasomotor rhinitis for which he
prescribed parathyroid and calcium internally. But she is quite well at present.
If she is quite well, what is the use of
parathyroiding and calciating her?
C complains of oppression of the chest, and
sleeplessness begun 2 days after there was no more medicine. She wants to starve

Manibhai is all right. A little astonishing that
the eye responded so well and so soon!
With many people or in many cases it does. It
depends on certain conditions either of the conscient or of the subconscient.
I was under the impression that it is quite
possible to know intuitively, with the Yogic vision, the exact condition of a
patient without any medical diagnosis, but from your recent remarks about some
patients I find that it is not so. On the contrary you say that the Force can
act better and quicker when there is a proper diagnosis. In that case you depend
upon human instruments which being fallacious and ignorant mostly, will

I wrote to you regarding my staying here permanently. My
aspiration and decision still stand the same. May I hear
from you about it ?
Before deciding forever, we can take a period of time and see —
say till August.
I am thinking of learning French, but will it help me in my
sadhana ? Will you kindly suggest what I should do by way
of some work or studies?
There is some work in the B.D.¹ — if you like, you can ask Khirod —
telling him how many hours you want to work.
There are not much facilities for French just now. The classes
have been stopped for a time owing to the illness of the eyes of the teacher.

Last night as I was going to bed, I prayed for your light
in the subconscient. Strange to say, all the troubles and
turmoils were thrown up in response as it were, to the prayer. I had even emissions in dream. And this has happened more than once.
Is there any coincidence or is really the
effect of your response?
Page - 56
The prayer brings a Force which presses on the subconscient and
by that pressure these things come up. The emissions are of no great
importance provided they are not frequent, but they indicate the
presence of the sex-impulse there. Many are able to get a control
by putting a strong will on the sex-organ or sex-centre befor

I don't think R is any good at diagnosis. The old
Doctor was the man for that. I would define R's method as "book work
+ imaginative experimentation". (It is a confidential estimate)
But I really wonder why the Divine can't do
something! You said people were saved from death by prayer, and here the Divine
himself can't save this fellow from pain
and suffering
Such questions are all "my eye".
N got remarkable response from the Divine, then
why not N. P. ?
Every man does not get response, and every man does
not give response.

But what is this, Sir, I felt last night? It was a warm touch
on my forehead, as warm as your feet at Darshan. But it was
so sudden that I doubted it almost. Possible such touches?
Possible! What an absurd question to ask! Such touches are quite
a common experience in sadhana. There are however different
touches. Sometimes the touch is personal, sometimes it is the touch
of the Power or Presence from above. Many feel not a warm touch

least a supramental ass. And this would still be a short
period for you, since in the supramental time-scale 50 years
will be 50 days of ours.
If that is so, then you will become a Supramental ass in 50 days —
since my years are supramental, that follows. So what's the row
about? With this glowing prospect before you!
So I have stood and answered. But no amount of standing
and answering will serve the purpose. I shall now learn to
"stand and wait" as "they also serve who only stand and
wait", says Milton.
Thank God! A most comforting resolution — for me at any rate.

There was a small gale over the servant business. When
his fault was shown, he went on arguing with me with an
insolent attitude which I couldn't bear.
Why not? He is using the freedom of his reason and asserting
his sovietic equality with you, his "comrade" and fellow human.

Really, Sir, your Karmayoga has lost all charm for me.

To go on all the time driving a fellow, rebuking him, is
an anaesthetic business; besides, one can't pour out the
venom as one doesn't know the language. But you harp on
your dictum that all this is necessary for a great transformation.
Exceedingly good discipline for you..

Absolutely in the physical consciousness! Don't find any
trace of the psychic anywhere, Sir! Are you handling the
blessed subconscient physical or what?
I am handling the handle. Sticky! If you are absolutely in the physical consciousness, so much the better. It shows you are on the way.
If you were in your uproarious mental or tragic vital, then there
would be little chance for the psychic to emerge. But now that you
are in the physical, there is some prospect of your finishing the circle

By the way, you spoke of my friend J. B. as receiving the
Mother's Force.
[Sri Aurobindo underlined "Mother's Force"]
"In contact with" the Divine Force which is the force of the
Mother — that was what I wrote, I believe.
But which Mother? Ours or some universal Mother as
people say? Perhaps an ignorant and foolish question, but
can't help it.

How many Mothers are there? Who is this some universal Mother?
How many of these some universal Mothers are there?
I ask because I do not understand how without invoking
the Mother, he gets her Force.
