Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

c. 1938

Mother,

This evening during meditation I felt a sense of suffocation and dizziness on two occasions and I thought that I was going to faint. This sensation interrupted my meditation twice. I noticed that my trust in You was wavering; otherwise nothing could interrupt my meditation. I have felt a similar sensation in the past, especially in the midst of a large crowd or in a room too full of people.

Perhaps this dizziness comes precisely because the room is too full of people. Wouldn't it be better for you to sit outside in the open air?
