Debou's Correspondence with The Mother

14 December 1967

Debou, my dear child,

Your letter certainly did not displease me, but it saddened me because my love has never left you and I have always wanted you to be happy, peaceful and satisfied in the spiritual light and integral progress.

It is not because of a lack of interest or affection that I am unable to see you often; it is solely for lack of time.

Your note asking me when I could see you arrived at a moment when all my time was taken, taken in advance from long before. I wanted to see you quietly one morning and that is why I did not reply to you at once.

But inwardly I am always with you and you ought to feel it. You tell me that you have received blows, but they are not from me—I have never given you any.

I had planned to wash my hair on Monday the 18th, and I had kept my morning for this; but I am giving this up most willingly and I will see you at 10.15 on the morning of Monday the 18th, to make you understand and feel that you can always count on me.

In the meantime, meditate on the message that I have enclosed with my letter.²⁷ It will help you to understand what has happened to you.

With all my tenderness and my blessings
