I cannot concur with the attitudes and views expressed, nor can I adhere to the
false unity that is being publicised; neither do I believe in gadgets for a serious
work. But to counter it all might actually amount to delaying, obstructing and
damaging further a process which is already tedious enough…!
I felt angry today; the methods, means and practices are, I find, so ugly and so
dishonest; and yet somehow it creates an opening to energy…
I feel alien to this world… It seems to me to be a very cheap unity that allows for
such attitudes to dominate…

I have brought Rs 500/- to Mani and Devaraj, at the Court, as my one
contribution…

I went by taxi to meet Su at the Station in Madras. The GT train was half-an-hour
late: she was on it. It was simple and happy.
… As we approached home, Su became anxious; she said she was having a mixed
feeling, with some sadness and the sense of irreversible, or “inextricable”; she had
worked so hard to make it happen, for this return to come true, all the time she
had been away, and now it was over; she had left her past, and she didn’t know…
Part of this, I felt, had to do with the degree of uncertainty in our relationship, but
we hadn’t talked about it at all, just held hands… I myself do not know; because of
Ar.’s psychological position, there is the likelihood of some tension, although none
of us wants it… With Su I find a natural intimacy and ease, which includes the
possibility of renewed sexual intercourse, but is not pulling at it…

Jaïmurthy told me today that the people in the village were now angry at me as
they believe that I have committed a large amount of money to have N released, as
they wanted him to remain in jail, and they had even sent delegations earlier to the
Governor to make a strong case against him… This came out as I had asked him
why he’d been having negative thoughts towards me…!
*11-10-1987, Auroville:
Su came briefly this morning… She is very tense these days whenever she is near
me. I know that we must talk and I must tell her as accurately as I can how it is for
me, and how is my relationship with Ar., so that she can look at it in herself and
make her own choices…
… Ar. came to invite me to come with her and a few others to Madras to watch a
dance performance by Pina Bausch; it is surely interesting, although I am not
attracted by her line of work, but I do not wish to make that journey again for
some time…

I have been seeking Your direction, as regards the present issue at Matrimandir…
