Jagannath Vedalankar's Correspondence with The Mother

3 August 1949

Divine Mother,

This evening a workman in the machine section was caught red-handed with a packet of washing soda which he had hidden in his cloth bag; it was detected at the time of search. This man stole it from the machine section where it was stocked in a small quantity for daily use.

What action is to be taken so that such acts of stealing may be stopped?

You can give him a strong scolding and tell him that if he does it again he will be sent away.

Blessings
