Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo
The Complete Set
Khirod says he wrote to you about my proposal of shouldering the entire responsibility of the timber godown. Somehow I felt pity for him – an overburdened, harmless gentleman.
Harmless only? He is one of the ablest and most quietly successful “men of work” I have come across.
Supposing I get the Force from above, how to apply it on the carpenters?
Direct it upon them in a steady stream. If Force can come into you, why can't it go out from you too?
You laughed away my medical statement about ladies. Is it not true that women are more receptive and psychic than men? All outward signs would direct that way, at any rate.

After a long six-year course, he took the M.B.C.H.B. Degree and then went on a tour of Europe with his niece. His meeting with Dilip Kumar Roy, the famous musician in Paris, sealed his fate. His niece, having heard about Sri Aurobindo from Dilip Kumar Roy, met the Mother and was highly impressed. On her repeated requests, Nirodbaran, after coming to India in 1930, met the Mother and was overwhelmed and had a spiritual experience. He then spent 2 or 3 years practising medicine in Burma, but this work failed to satisfy him.
