Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

1940

Mother,

You once told me that the impulses or suggestions which strike the mind first when one sets about doing something were the right and true ones. But so often the perverse forces of the mind and vital lie in wait and bring about a great confusion. As my discernment is not yet clear and sure, I feel I should refer these first intuitions to You physically, in writing, in order to do away with any chance of distorting the movement.

But will this not involve going into details, which You told me is not so important at present as a general attitude of quiet opening? How then can this going into details be avoided?

It is the inner attitude of surrender and consecration which is the most important and must be kept all through day and night, if possible.

The physical referring to me by writing must come only occasionally as a control of what has been received in the inner silence. That is to say, if you have asked a question and received an inner answer and you are not quite sure of the exactitude of your perception, you can write to know from me the truth about it.

My love and blessings
