That woman is very grateful to<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;P. L. and would like to give him one million dollars for a<br \/>\n  charity.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><P>That would come in handy!<\/p>\n<p><i>Yes, but she&#8217;s very Catholic.

A nice woman, it seems. So P. L. asks<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;if<br \/>\n  he shouldn&#8217;t try to explain to her what he&#8217;s doing here, to<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;send her a few of your books and see how it acts. It might<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;make her turn to something more interesting?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><P>Isn&#8217;t she a woman who wants &#8220;peace on earth&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p><i>I don&#8217;t know. When P.L. met her, her daughter had been<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;murdered, and in that difficult moment, P.L.<br \/>\n  helped her. So<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;she is very grateful and would like to give this money to a<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;charity &#8211; a Christian charity, of course.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><P>People of that sort generally understand a charity better than ideas.<\/p>\n<p><i>Auroville?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><P>Auroville, as Sri Aurobindo said, is a practical means to create a human unity that would be strong enough to fight against war.<br \/>\n<P>It&#8217;s to be seen. We may try.<br \/>\n<P>We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p><i>There is another fact regarding this Msgr. R., whose huge<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;holdings were managed by P.L. There was a thought (it was J.&#8217;s <\/i>\n  <\/p>\n<p><i>thought) to send him my book, the &quot;Adventure of Conscious<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>ness,&quot; and he has written an enthusiastic letter in which he<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;says he&#8217;s very taken with the book and is prodigiously interested.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;And he has sent P.
