Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

30 May 1969

Dearest Mother,

To solve the problem of my 21 unpublished books as well as of our great financial difficulty in general, I should like to apply for the Jawaharlal Nehru Scholarship. This Scholarship gives a very substantial payment every month for one whole year, enabling the recipient to pursue, with ample facility, specific researches which he has to name. I may add that a great joy to us resulting from the Scholarship will be our ability to make offerings to you every month. No strings are attached to the Scholarship.

The application is to be made through an educational institute. I asked Kireet if he would recommend me. He replied, “Most gladly. I have been a pupil of yours.” But, of course, your approval and blessings are first required. Will you give me a push?

All right.

Blessings

Here sensibleness is indispensable and the integral yoga is based on balance, calm and peace and not on an unhealthy need to suffer. (12 May 1969)
