Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

9 September 1946

Mother divine,

In spite of enough physical movement, my constipation persists and there is a consequent lethargy in the body. Since my inner consciousness is still subjected to the body, there is often a depression in the vital and mental parts. If a purgative such as Milk of Magnesia is taken, this disturbance may be avoided. But that will mean dependence on an external aid. Moreover, I doubt whether You approve of taking purgatives.

Mother, I humbly and earnestly pray for Thy guidance and uplifting Grace so that I may be able to shake off these morbidities and become a strong, glad and illumined servitor of Thee.

Take the Milk of Magnesia at once and also the resolution to be (and not to become) "a strong, glad and illumined servitor"; there is no need of waiting any longer for that.

My love and blessings
