Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

30 November 1943

Mother,

It is hard for me to understand how X who has been so absorbed in Yoga for years, who has been considered by you to have the nature of the saints, could drift away from you and have a fall from the Yogic life.

Amal,

The mistake in your psychology is its excessive simplification. You look at one side and with exaggerated emphasis and ignore the rest. A person may have certain qualities but not to perfection, and there is in the subconscient the very contradiction of these qualities. If one does not take care to eliminate this contradiction, then at any moment under the pressure of circumstances what is in the subconscient may rise up with force and bring about a collapse, what is called a fall from the yoga.

I suppose that with the above indication you will under- stand.

With love and blessings
