Debou's Correspondence with The Mother

3 August 1963

Debou, my dear little child,

I was pleased to read your long letter, except that your body should not resist the action of the Force and give you trouble. It must become more plastic and receptive.

As for food, you can certainly take fish if it suits your system. No doubt it is your aunt who will prepare it.

The progress in the sadhana depends far more on the sincerity of your aspiration than on the food you eat, especially if it is taken because it is needed and not out of desire. It is the vibrations of egoistic desire and attachment that slow down the progress, and the control of these vibrations is of primary importance.

I trust that you will have the realisation of the Divine Consciousness in your present life, but naturally for this, that Realisation must be the principal and essential thing for you —your sole preoccupation.

My tenderness and my force will always be there to help you.

With my blessings
