Madanlal Himatsingka's Correspondence with The Mother

2 April 1971

Mother,

During my meditations, I try to concentrate on some aspect of the Divine. I am engaged now in printing and publishing the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. I am trying to do it with detachment and devotion. Most of the time I spend thinking of my work and praying for the Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s help for its success. Mother, is this not equivalent to meditation and concentration, and will it not bring spiritual results?

Yes.

Sometimes when the work is not proceeding as expected, I feel depressed and uneasy. Mother, show me a practical way to overcome it.

The way is to keep always and in all circumstances an ardent and constant aspiration.

Love and blessings
