Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
SABCL 26
Fragment ID: 7536
Young Aurobindo was sensitive to beauty in man and Nature.... He watched with pain the thousand and one instances of man’s cruelty to man.
The feeling was more abhorrence than pain; from early childhood there was a strong hatred and disgust for all kinds of cruelty and oppression, but the term “pain” would not accurately describe the reaction.
