THEME/S
The Divine may be difficult, but His difficulties can be overcome if one keeps at Him. Even my smilelessness was overcome which Nevinson had remarked with horrors more than twenty years before—"the most dangerous man in India", Aurobindo Ghosh who "never smiles". He ought to have added: "but who always jokes"—but he did not know that, as I was very solemn with him, or perhaps I had not developed sufficiently on that side then. Anyhow, if you could overcome that—my smilelessness—you are bound to overcome all the other difficulties also.
