FOREWORD
To begin with, I would like to relate two interviews with
the Mother and what I heard from her when I first came
here on 22nd November 1928 — sixty years ago.
In those days, after 9 o'clock in the morning one could

There are only two passages in your
letter which call for a change. In one place you speak of those who do not leave
all and come here as being inferior in surrender. It is better not to write
this, especially as it might appear to be a suggestion or a pressure on her -
and she must be left absolutely free to follow her own way.
In another place at the end of the
letter, your practically tell her that she should not have called in a doctor
except for diagnosis. This also should not be written. That may be a personal
rule that some may follow who have an absolute faith in these matters; but it
