Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

16 September 1947

Mother,

A question has risen again in me. I pray for Your guidance. The gardener whom You have asked us to keep in service has already been given his official letter of dismissal. X had Your permission and Amrita had already informed the Labour Office and the President.

Now the dismissed man is again seeking work. May we safely and unhesitatingly take him back into service with his old roll-number and at the existing rate of pay, telling him: "As all of us have been satisfied with your work and conduct, we put your case before the Mother and got Her sanction for your re-employment?"

Yes, but you must add that henceforth he must prove that he is worthy of this treatment by remaining always very regular in his attendance and his work.
