20 July

Nolini-da read out at the playground "My Acceptance of Sannyasa." Before he read it out, he said: "Today's episode is extremely amusing, almost hilarious, but I am afraid you will enjoy all this at my expense."

Afterwards, Rajen-da and I escorted him home. He said to Rajen-da: "Did you enjoy my talk?"

Rajen-da said: "Of course."

Nolini-da said: "Sometimes I am embarrassed to read out these kinds of things because they are too personal."

Rajen-da said: "Although they are personal, we learn much from them. It helps us a lot."

Nolini-da said: "Chinmoy also tells me the same." Then he said: "This coming Friday I shall read out Siddhi Dibas" (Sri Aurobindo's God-realisation day, 24 November 1926).
