Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

24 October 1938

Mother,

Y wanted some green mangoes from the Santal House garden and having got Your permission he took some twice or thrice. But the other day, finding very few in the tree, he asked me whether I would like to send them directly to you—ripe or unripe. I answered, "Whatever the Mother wishes." But I do not know which You like better, ripe or unripe mangoes. Z is telling us that the Mother never takes ripe mangoes. I pray for your direction.

Sri Aurobindo eats the ripe mangoes. So it is better to keep the mangoes on the tree and to send them to me when they are ripe.

Blessings
