Write to Punamchand that now that Vithaldas has seen the Mother, he should communicate his experience or his difficulties direct to her. It is not desirable that in matters of the Sadhana Punamchand or anybody else should come in between, even as a channel of communication. The Mother's force must go direct undisturbed by any other influence.

Sri Aurobindo
As regards the Vedic “Dictionary” write to Punamchand that I do not want anything of this kind to be made out of my unfinished work. If it is to be done, it will be in the future and must be only under my express directions and supervision. December 1928
Mother gave me the following extract from the Prayers in April 1930:
10 decembre 1914
O divin Maître, avec quel ardent amour je suis Ton serviteur! ...

The Mother
(After writing, she explained to me in English what was in French.)
11.2.52
Mother, Nolini informed me that Mother will see me on the 13th. I see that Mother is always so busy. What Mother wants to give, she can give even without seeing. Instead of giving me time on the 13th, Mother may utilise the few minutes for other important work.
I have kept some time to play1 for you (at 11 a.m.) and I will do it.
26.6.32
I pray to the Mother for the book of Prières et Meditations, if possible.
A rule has been made that the book is to be given only to those who know French or are studying French. The Mother cannot make an exception for you, for then she would have to make an exception for everybody.
27.6.1932
(However, I was to receive the book a few months later even though I did not know French even then. What was interesting was that she had numbered my copy 5 and kept it for me.2 The inscription read:

During meditations I find that my head and trunk bend down again and again. I am conscious but I cannot help it. Should I stop coming for meditations?
It does not matter.
You must not stop coming to meditation.
I have learnt that Mother does not like people coming for Pranam without taking their bath. Is that true?
No. People say all sorts of nonsense.
Three oil paintings are at present kept on the floor. Can I have them hung up on the walls?
Mother thinks you should leave them where they are. Mother does not like to have new nails in the wall.
28.4.34
P. was telling me that if the portrait3 is left as it is, it may fade away and that it would be better to have it fixed with fixing solution. I like to know from Mother what she would like me to do.
No, it will not fade—it is pencil, not charcoal and there is no need of fixing it.
4.2.35
I once received a telegram from some one who was in great difficulty. I sent it to Mother for reply. Sri Aurobindo wrote:
Keep faith quietude openness to divine power. Ashirvada.
