Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

11 February 1946

Our sadhak-workers talk too much while working and at times forget to return the manuscript sheets. I have deliberately allowed a wide margin of freedom to them so that they might act out of their own sense of responsibility; but I am slowly realising that it is necessary to arrange things with mutual understanding and then firmly carry them out. I present this feeling to you for guidance.

Of course without discipline no good work can be done, and silence is a very good condition for work.
