Madanlal Himatsingka's Correspondence with The Mother

6 April 1967

Mother,

I am trying to remember Thee always. Often I am chanting the mantra “OM Ma Mira sharanam mama”. This I do regularly. But Mother, I find that this has led me nowhere and I am standing in the same place as before. Mother, how long will you allow your child to remain merged in ignorance? And in ignorance, how can I serve Thee?

Mother, outwardly there seem to be no problems for me; you have given me everything. What prevents me, then, from coming in contact with Thee inwardly? Mother dear, establish in me the inner contact with Thee. Otherwise there seems to be no chance for me in this life.

Earnestly praying for Thy guidance and help. I am your ignorant child.

Madanlal, my dear child,

Find your joy and satisfaction in being of service to the Divine’s work upon earth — which is a realised fact — and the rest will come in due course, surely sooner than you expect. With all my love and blessings
