Sri Aurobindo imposing mystical constructs

CWSA 36 Autobiographical Notes 13 Family Letters, 1890 1919 Extract from a Letter to His Brother. 1899 ­ 1900.
Only a short while ago I had a letter from you — I cannot lay my hands on the passage, but I remember it contained an unreserved condemnation of Hindu legend as trivial and insipid, a mass of crude and monstrous conceptions, a [lumber-room]1 of Hindu banalities. The main point of your indictment was that it had nothing in it simple, natural, passionate and human, that the characters were lifeless patterns of moral excellence. I have been so long accustomed to regard your taste and judgment as sure and final that it is with some distrust I find myself differing from you…
Will you accept this poem as part-payment of a deep intellectual debt I have been long owing to you? Unknown to yourself, you taught and encouraged me from my childhood to be a poet. From your sun my farthing rush-light was kindled, and it was in your path that I long strove to guide my uncertain and faltering footsteps. If I have now in the inevitable development of an independent temperament in independent surroundings departed from your guidance and entered into a path, perhaps thornier and more rugged, but my own, it does not lessen the obligation of that first light and example. It is my hope that in the enduring fame which your calmer and more luminous genius must one day bring you, on a distant verge of the skies and lower plane of planetary existence, some ray of my name may survive and it be thought no injury to your memory that the first considerable effort of my powers was dedicated to you. Page – 137-8
41 Note On The Texts Sri Aurobindo made a typed copy of these pages from a letter written to his second brother Manmohan (1869 ­ 1924). His intention was to use them as an introduction to his poem Love and Death, written in 1899. At the top of the transcript he typed "To my Brother". This apparently was meant to be the dedication of the poem and not the salutation of the letter. When he was preparing Love and Death for publication in 1920, he dropped both the dedication and the introduction. Page – 570-1
