Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

17 September 1934

(After his visit to Bombay, Amal returned to Pondicherry.)

Mother,

Pardon my writing to you without any specific reason; but I felt like telling you that you are extremely dear to me. In spite of my thousand and three imperfections, this one sense remains in me — that you are my Mother, that I am born from your heart. It is the only truth I seem to have realised in all these years. A very unfortunate thing, perhaps, that I have realised no other truth; but I deeply thank you that I have been enabled to feel this much at least.⁴

My blessings are always with you.
