Madanlal Himatsingka's Correspondence with The Mother

26 May 1963

Dear Mother,

I badly lack the intensity of aspiration and the initial effort needed to establish contact with the psychic. Even there is no intensity in my prayer to You. Mother, help me to grow on the path of sadhana. I often feel that I am not progressing. Please do help.

Do not bother about the progress — it will come by itself with the growth of the sincerity.

Fund collection for the Mother will form a major part of my work in the future. In reply to my enquiry about Lord Ganesh some time back, You very graciously explained the whole thing and wrote at the end about collecting money: “But if now you invoke Ganesh sincerely, he may resume his good offices through you. It can be tried.” Since then I have been doing the Japa of the Ganesh mantra regularly, but it has not been effective so far. Even now I am doing this Japa, keeping Your image in my heart. Mother, should I change this traditional way and follow some other method?

Be plastic to the inner impulse, not too tied by fixed rules and programmes. Let your feeling have a more free play.

In any case you can be sure of the help.

With love and blessings
