Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

26 August 1932

Mother,

When Chandulal addresses me in his notes as his “lovable, loving brother”, there comes up in me a strong resentment. I am pushing it away by calling Your name. I am Your child and nobody’s brother.

If you are my child, then you are the brother of all my children. This seems to me logical. And if you object to being addressed as Chandulal’s brother, then you can say that it is Chandulal who is yours!
