Madanlal Himatsingka's Correspondence with The Mother

4 December 1964

(Madanlal’s wife Karuna was dying of cancer. Two days before she passed away, Madanlal wrote:)

Mother Divine,

Karuna’s condition is deteriorating every day. I am not so much worried now about her physical end, because the Mother’s words that Karuna’s soul has decided to leave the body have made me gradually prepared for this.

You said to me the other day, “I am trying to put her in contact with her soul and if I succeed I will consider it to be the Supreme Grace.” But Mother, when the Divine Mother Herself is saying this, is it not already established?

Mother, we are your children, but after all we are children and have not any sadhana. Thy Grace alone can do something for Karuna, so that she gets the “conscious joy of contact with her soul”. I feel that Karuna cannot aspire for it in her present condition of health. I earnestly pray to the Mother to grant this.

Madanlal,

Do as she asks — and be as calm as you can.

I am with you.

Blessings
