Maude Smith's Correspondence with The Mother

11 January 1963

Gracious Divine Mother,

Everything in my being wants to give itself to You. Why is there no way, no help? Why can't it be now instead of in some vague indefinite future! Many times I have asked You, in interview, in writing and in prayer about now, and You have never answered. Why? I am not "expecting great results in a short time", I ask only the minimum essentials—and it is no longer a short time; it is ten years!

I do not see why it could not be now, immediate. It may be much closer to realisation than you believe.

With love and blessings
