What have you brought? Your book? Do you have your book?

A bit of it, yes.

All right, begin with that.

Its getting to be heavy going, you know.

Oh!

Im under a lot of pressure Im thinking of the Bulletin, of everything that remains to be done.

No.

But I have to!

Just let it come naturally, like that.

Dont think ahead. Just put a piece of paper in front of you and let it come.

Otherwise you give yourself a headache.

All right, I am listening; read what youve brought.

Its not perfect yet.

No problem.

I am perfecting itall I have to do is hear it.

!?

You dont believe it, do you? But I can assure you!

Actually, words serve only to put people in contact with something else, a knowledge, a light, a force or an action, or whatever. So as long as you manage to put one into the other,1 thats all thats necessary.

If you knew. You cant imagine how stupid people are! They put exactly what they want into what they read or hear, whatever they have in their heads. Only when you have the power to break that can something get in and that can happen through any word at all, it doesnt matter.

Thats what I try to bring in when I listen to your book.

So go ahead now, I am listening.

(After the reading:)

Theres just one thing I dont know its when you say Sri Aurobindo succumbed on December 5, 1950. He didnt succumb. Its not that he couldnt have done otherwise. Its not the difficulty of the work that made him leave; its something else. You cant mention this in your book, of course, its impossible to talk about for the moment, but I would like you to use another word. What was your sentence again?

I said: Sri Aurobindo succumbed to this work on December 5, 1950.

He didnt succumb.

We have to use another word, not succumb. It was truly his CHOICEhe chose to do the work in another way, a way he felt would bring much more rapid results. But this explanation is nobodys business, for the moment. So we cant say that he succumbed. Succumbed gives the idea that it was against his will, that it just happened, that it was an accidentit CANNOT be succumbed.

Yes, I understand.

You could simply say that he did the work up to that moment thats all, giving no reason.

We could simply say: Sri Aurobindo left this life on December 5, 1950.

Read the beginning of the passage again.

The seeker of transformation must thus face all the difficulties, even death, not to vanquish but to change themone cannot change things without taking them upon oneself. Thou shalt bear all things, says Savitri, that all things may change. Sri Aurobindo succumbed to this work

Cant you just put thats why, without giving any explanation? Thats why Sri Aurobindo left his body. Thats much more powerful. You said even death, so just put: Thats why Sri Aurobindo left his body.

The force or the light into the words of the book.
