I’ve been given a quotation from Sri Aurobindo…. I find it very interesting.
\n

"What happens is for the ‘best’ in this sense only

 that the end will
\nbe a divine victory in spite of all

 difficulties – that has been and
\nalways will be my

 seeing, my faith and my assurance – if you are
\n

willing to accept it from me."

Sri Aurobindo
December 28, 1931

I find it very interesting. Because when people are told, “It will be for the best,” they always think it’s the best as they imagine it!

And your book? [[By the Body of the Earth or the Sannyasin.<\/i> ]]<\/p>\n

It’s not easy…. I am revising it.<\/i><\/p>\n

Oh!<\/p>\n

It’s a terrible work to do.<\/i><\/p>\n

No, if one takes that attitude, one is never done with it! It will never reach the end. One revises following a certain current, then when one has reached the end, one enters another current, and then … It’s endless.

I knew a painter like that; he was a great painter: Gustave Moreau. But there are few paintings by him, because he was a man who kept doing his paintings over again. He would progress, his vision would progress, and his painting would always appear to him to be outside, unfinished – it couldn’t be finished! So it’s only when he died that they could get his paintings – there were many of them, and they were magnificent. Only, each of them was a movement towards something….
\n

Have you seen his house? He left his house with all that was inside, they made it into a museum.

Silence, that’s all I can offer you.
