Champaklal's Treasures - Edition-II

During the Pranam

During concentration I am unable to do anything except to offer pranams to the Mother. Am I proceeding correctly?

In spite of my efforts to reject the movements of lower nature there has been a lapse. I am ashamed and I beg for pardon.

Write to him that what he is doing is quite right. While making the Pranam he should aspire to be open to the Mother's influence and her workings in him and to become conscious of her workings. He need not be discouraged by what has happened. It is not to be expected that the old movements of the nature would change at once.
