Because I feel there’s something quite visceral and raw in BM-KY writings, while Letters on Yoga feels like he’s trying to patiently cure a hundred different psycho-spiritual doubts and problems of various sadhaks, and that’s exactly not to my taste, is it okay to have such preferences, or reading the letters is essential to walk his path?
Yes. It is perfectly okay. Different persons connect differently with Sri Aurobindo, each with the aspect that is most in sync with the turn of one’s nature, the temperament, and the past evolution. But whatever way one comes in contact with Sri Aurobindo’s vast consciousness, the doors begin to open towards a deeper, vaster way of seeing, a new understanding begins to dawn, and the journey towards the higher consciousness begins.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
