He wrote

to Sarat Chandra Bose in two different letters dated 16 and 23 February of 1921. On 16th Feb. he wrote, " I want to start my career with an ideal of sacrificing for my country. In my imagination I feel much more affinity  in sacrificing my life for the country and for living a simple life with an ideal. Moreover, I think that it is a heinous activity of serving under a foreign ruler. The path followed by Aurobindo seems to me of more attractive and  great sacrificing, and inspiring, though this path is spread with more thorns than  that of the path of Ramesh Datta who passed the ICS Exam and came back to India after being a barrister and became the first district magistrate."
.  He mentioned in  another letter to Sarat Chandra Bose written on 23rd Feb,  " it is only possible for one to sacrifice for the country when he leaves all prosper in earthly life."
