Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

24 April 1939

Mother,

I am puzzled. My heart is pulled towards you and I want to come back. But certain things are keeping me here and I feel that they will keep drawing me even if I return at present. What should I do? But please know that whether I come just now or not, I cannot ever break away from you. I pray to you not to abandon me.

My dear child, blessings of the day . . .

Just received your letter of the 21st; it came to me directly (without the written words) three days ago, probably when you were writing it, and my silent answer was categorical: remain there until the necessity of being here will become so imperative that all else will completely lose all value for you. My answer now is exactly the same. I want only to assure you that we are not abandoning you and that you will always have our help and protection.
