Champaklal Speaks

21 June 1935

Is it possible for an advanced sadhak like H, not to feel need to meet the Mother physically? Is it necessary for him to stay in Pondicherry to do Yoga?

At present H is outside the Ashram, not in it. That has been arranged by him for reasons of his own, but with the consent of the Mother. As he is outside the Ashram he is no longer under the Ashram rules and Mother does not control his actions, nor is it necessary for him to take her sanction for what he does, unless it concerns the Ashram in any way. He comes to see her every Wednesday. It was in order to be near her that he remained in Pondicherry and also so that he might be under her immediate protection as far as possible in the new conditions. Also if and when he overcomes the difficulties he feels, he wishes and hopes to come back to the Ashram. This is the situation for the present.
