Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

1 November 1935

My dear Mother,

This evening M told me: "The moong dal is not clean. Will you get it cleaned by your granary workers?" I thought: "This is too much for me and there will be no end to it!" Also the people asking for Prasad are increasing and M is actively canvassing them!

All the above is purely from the viewpoint of discipline and organisation. But when I see things from a wider angle, I feel totally different: discipline too is progressive; what is good today may not hold good tomorrow. There will be a change in our outer life as a result of our inner progress and the descent of the consciousness from above.

My dear Mother, both these viewpoints are placed before You, the former arising from the egoistic mind, the latter from a wider mind, humble before Your working.

A harmonious combination of the two attitudes, each one working at its place and time, is the right thing.

N asks me to tell you that she no more wants to go home in the afternoon and she is ready to do the work that is needed in the kitchen. This is the result of a true progress in her consciousness and it has to be encouraged.

All love and blessings to you, my dear child
