Record of Yoga       10-30 June 1914 June l0th Sortilege   The Pure Mind & the Sense-Pleasure borne up together by the Ananda are to be full of the sense-delight & so carried & wedded to the Inspired Thought in the Vijnana, ie known & taken cognizance of by it. In the streams of conscious being they are to form in an universal fashion the planes of activity of the siddhi & to remove from the "heart" of the vijnanamaya being the obscurations that still remain.       Script.       The lines of the subjective siddhi have now been fixed.       1. Ananda as the base, free & joyous Tapas & Prakasha as the special instruments.       2

You called me to step into the breach, to face publicly the most tremendous question of our times and to give you my solution of a problem on which no two people agree, except that it is urgent.         But I do not thin

     Notes on the Texts         Record of Yoga: July 1914. The Record for this month was kept in the small, thick, handbound notebook already used for the Record of 10-30 June 1914. The heading "July 1914" is written on an otherwise blank page following the entry for 30 June. The Record of 1-31 July occupies the next 67 pages of the notebook.         In July 1914, Sri Aurobindo sometimes used the Sanskrit word "Vachas" to refer to what he normally called "sortilege" (i.e., printed or written words found by chance, as by opening a book at random, and then interpreted). The sources of the Sanskrit sortileges in this instalment of Record of Yoga are identified below.

The month of June has closed on this note of imperfect success.         The renewal of the struggle between the Siddhi and the powers of limitation has assumed a new aspect; it is no longer

Archival Notes THE KARMAYOGIN CASE       In a previous issue (Archives and Research, vol.7, no. 1) we examined the British Government's three-pronged attack against Sri Aurobindo during the year 1909. From the moment of his acquittal at Alipore on 6 May, the bureaucracy attempted to remove him from the political field by means of appeal, prosecution or deportation. Legal experts began their study of Beachcroft's judgment the same month that it was delivered; by August the idea of appeal was effectively abandoned, and by November it became legally impossible. (See Documents, A & R, vol. 7, no. 1.) Meanwhile the police were keeping close track of Sri Aurobindo's writings and spe
