Description
This is the second of four volumes of correspondence between Sri Aurobindo and Dilip Kumar Roy, singer, musician, poet and writer. This volume scans only two years 1934-1935 as the correspondence between the Master and the disciple grew in volume, frequency and depth during this period.
What shines through these letters is Sri Aurobindo’s immense patience guiding Dilipda through his turbulence, his despondency, and nurturing with such tender care his latent talents. And the infinite love Sri Aurobindo and Mother poured on this over-sensitive but exceptional being for his full blossoming.
Here reason’s logic is countered with sounder logic. A gentle irony like a cool breeze blows away mind’s cobwebs. No insistence to toe his line. No judgment, always a clarity of vision. Comprehension. Compassion, rarely a sigh escapes he Guru’s lips, It is only divine Love which can bear the burden I have to bear.
