Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

21 January 1935

My dear Mother,

A wave of threats—such as going on hunger-strike and not attending the meditations—has entered the men-folk from the ladies!

Many men did it long before the women began.

At 9.15 a.m. I saw D jumping at the compound wall of the Governor's House to pluck some flowers. He plucked or rather robbed a bunch of flowers.

This is extremely serious. You must tell him that A went to prison for a similar thing.

This is how we bring troubles for us and for You! I am much pained by that.

I hope you have told him that it must never be done. If he does not listen to you I shall have to write to him that if he does it once more I shall send him away from the Ashram.
