The German translation of your poem is very well done. As for Frau Füllöp
Miller1 whose judgement on men is as unanswerable as yours on
European women. We will follow the profound Asquithian policy which is
good throughout the ages: "Wait and see".

... PS. Did you read Cromnur Byng's
compliments on my poems (I had sent him about a dozen of my latest) that he
"greatly admired my beautiful poems ?" What would Thomson say to that? If even
my beginner's poems are so appreciated (for I would not think he was insincere
here—Englishmen are very chary of praise in such matters) how would he respond to the magnificent mature
poems of Harin ? By the w

Introduction
Sri Aurobindo, through his innumerable illuminating
writings has left to the world a vast mass of his actually experienced living knowledge, which is a priceless treasure for all
who want to tread the path of the evolution of human consciousness. He was a ceaseless explorer, not only delving
deep into the "past dawns" but also lifting the veils that
withhold our vision of the "noons of the future." He stands
out, therefore, as a Supreme Teacher, Mahā Guru of the
entire human race, who came to reveal to man the higher
and higher peaks of consciousness that he has to conquer
through his ever new experiments in this "thinking and
living laboratory" of human lif

Each has his own periods of fulfilment and difficulty, his own distinct course

(Dilip had written that Jyoti was
constantly shocked that people should lie, "But while we all agree that we all
lie she seems to think that she is incapable of lying!")
Lies? Well, A Punjabi student at Cambridge once
took our breath away by the frankness and comprehensive profundity of his
affirmation: "Liars! But we are all liars!" It appeared that he had intended to
say "Lawyers," but his pronunciation gave his remark a deep force of philosophic
observation and generalisation which he had not intended! But it seems to me

It means both the individual and the cosmic Nature. The Divine is concealed in the secret heart
of all things and all beings. The phrase is an allusion to the constant Vedic and Upanishadic expression Hrdaye guhāyām,
nihitam gūhāyām, gudham guhāyām, [hidden in the secret cavern of the heart]. What is meant, in the individual
nature, is the secret psychic centre which is covered up in man by egoistic emotion and feeling and desire.
It is not necessary to translate the word. Nature. Any word or epithet which will convey the idea
of the secret centre of the being or the consciousness, will do equally well.

Note
In 1928, Dilip decided to live permanently in the ashram at Pondicherry. That was two years after Sri Aurobindo's
complete withdrawal from public life, and from direct contact with his disciples: they could see him only three times a year (four later on) for a brief darshan, while Mother looked after the whole material aspect of life in the ashram and took direct charge of the disciples.
But they could also write letters to Sri Aurobindo. And write they did, often daily. With inexhaustible patience, Sri Aurobindo would soon spend most of his nights answering every one of them, explaining his Yoga, guiding them in their inner life, encouraging them to overcome doubt, depressi

T send you back the photos. The Mother says she does not
find the Russian actress worse than others of her type, it is always from self-interest that they act and if a man like
Suhrawardy1 allows himself to be tempted they will necessarily exploit him and think themselves justified in doing it.
His photograph is that of a man imaginative and ardent and
emotional, too passionate, excessively candid, and no doubt
he has high sentiments and generous impulses. But he was
likely to make mistakes in life and not to perceive the actual
values or to keep his steps in the right measure. I don't know
the details of his story, but, from what you say, it seems to
be a common one—a con

Preface
In the Gita, Sri Krishna says to Arjuna:
Yad-yad vibhuti matsatvam srimadoorjitamevava
Tat-tatdevavagachha tvam mamatejomsha sambhavam
(10.41)
That is:
"Wherever you find efflorescence of grace,
Opulence, grandeur or power that thrills the heart—
Know: it all derives from a gleam of my sun-splendour"
(Translated by Sri Dilip Kumar Roy)
Such a manifestation of sun-splendour that is Sri Aurobindo,
"mighty and forceful" brought forth the flowering of grace,
beauty and glorious opulence in a multifaceted form, in the life
of Sri Dilip Kumar Roy—our Dadaji.1 This process is superbly
documented for the first time, first hand

A Birthday Message
The divine gives itself to those who give themselves without reserve and in all
their parts to the divine. For them the calm, the light, the power, the
bliss, the freedom, the wideness, the heights of knowledge, the seas of Ananda.

Silence can mean many other things besides consent. I do not know that I
can consent to the dedication without seeing what you have written. I can
read your Bengali writing very well, but I am afraid it would be difficult for
me to make time, especially as you are in hurry to publish.
