Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

2 October 1947

Mother,

By Your grace, we have got rid of two undesirable workmen. But one still remains, the worst. He is a young but shrewd and mischievous boy. Other workmen soon may fall under his influence. I heard from Y that the man has even killed someone in a political party scuffle. Because of all this, sometimes when I want to curb his wrong movements, plainly expose his misdeeds, refuse him privileges or take steps against him, I feel a nervous shrinking and the suggestion comes: "Be careful. He may do harm to you, he may even resort to violence."

So I open these weak parts in me to You, praying for courage, strength and enlightenment.

Quietness, calm, fearlessness.

My love and blessings
