Madanlal Himatsingka's Correspondence with The Mother

12 March 1965

Mother dear,

13th March is my wife’s birthday. On the eve of this occasion, I wish to ask you more about her passing. You have said that there are two periods in life after death: first, the passage to the psychic world, and then the rest in that world. Did Karuna have an easy and quick passage to the final place of rest in the psychic world? Had she gone through it easily and unscathed? Are her physical, vital and mental sheaths dissolved or is she still in one of them, partially or fully?

The transition period was short; all the parts of her being connected directly or indirectly with me, are at rest and her soul is in perfect peace.

Had she still any memory of this life? Does she observe our movements and try to help us? She often used to say, “Even after death, I will keep a watch on you and try to help you to progress on the path of divine realisation.” Is she consciously helping us? If so, why are we not aware of it?

This was a mental resolve and may not have lasted when she united with her soul.
