Jagannath Vedalankar's Correspondence with The Mother

8 July 1947

Divine Mother,

My elder brother, who lives in the Pakistan area of the Punjab and is a rich man, asks me: “Should I continue to live in the Pakistan area or migrate from it and become an inhabitant in the Hindustan area? I am at a loss what to do. No one in our area has migrated as yet, though many intend to do so. But having no favourable conditions to migrate, people are still not moving from their native place. Advise me as to what I should do.”

What reply should I give him?

All depends on his character. If he likes adventures he can stay; if he wants safety it is better to migrate.

My love and blessings
