Rabindranath was greeted by Indira Devi in his 62nd birth day. In reply to her greetings Rabindranath wrote a long letter to her on 10. May,1922. ;
This time when I went to Selaidah, I saw that Padma had receded far away. Similarly, I find that my birth day has gone far away from your way of life.Frequently, I remember this.My connection with my family members has turned into a shadow. One reason is that those persons to whom I was connected in my childhood has been transferred - either to life beyond death or t o some other places. Now the building at Jorasanko is like the shore where there is no wave of the river. Moreover, I have some difference by nature from you . After all my attachment to my family is not too much. If any one belongs to my so called family, that doesn't mean, he is favorable to me.Those whom I love too much may not belong to my family. Many think him significant if he belongs to his family and he thinks him an important person in his family. But I don't think at all about Rathi in that manner.I am spending whatever money I had for Santiniketan , perhaps more than that. But when I see Rathi doesn't oppose rather he joins enthusiastically - I became very much glad. Though my attachment with family is not so strong still I don't want to love to spend my time in the company of the ordinary people - I can't say that my soul get its final attainment only in human being......."
