Champaklal Speaks

29 July 1932

However, the book was given to me later though I did not know French even then. The inscription read:

21-9-32

No. 5 à Champaklal

MIRA

I was surprised to find the number 5 written on it. By this I understood that she had numbered my copy and kept it for me. In those days Mother used to give certain numbers to sadhaks; they had an occult significance. My number was 5.—Champaklal.

At times I lie unintentionally. What I say does not represent the fact completely. I get disturbed. What is the wrong element in me?

It is only a want of habit of control over the centre of expression.
