Maude Smith's Correspondence with The Mother

31 January 1965

Gracious and Blessed Mother,

It is twelve years today that I first came to the Ashram, and this is the first time you have ever told me to go inside! So much I have wanted to, but there was never any way, any door to enter. It seemed there was no inside in me.

Now that you have spoken, I feel the time has come. I know the Force will be there to make it possible. Show me the door, I pray, and lead me within.

The door is open. You have only to step in.

Love
