Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

30 May 1935

My dear Mother,

I fail to understand why there is so much antipathy against me in the Aroumé workers.

I do not think it is so bad as all that.

Three days back, as soon as I entered Aroumé gate from the market, a force ran through my neck, saying: "It would have been better if you had died."

Do not listen to all this rubbish. It does not come from the Aroumé workers, but from some hostile force that wants to upset you.

Yesterday when I was taking my lunch, a force wanted to send me away from Aroumé: "Go away, go away, you are not wanted here."

Same explanation as above.

And now M tells me: "I shall not be able to cooperate with you in this way, nor shall I be able to work with you." I do not even know what "way" he means.

My dear Mother, all is left to you. I rest happily and go to bed.

Yes, be quiet and do not worry about all that.

It is the same forces which want to make you believe that your co-workers hate you and make the others believe that you hate them. The mistake is to believe these forces—one ought always to answer them: No, it is not true, it cannot be.

Always with you, my dear child
