Earnestness Will Be Rewarded

Prasanthi Nilayam

August 11, 1965

My dear Charles,

Blessings to you, Mr. Bob and Mrs. Bob, Dr. Tyberg and all other sadhakas there. Jaclyn is here, since 4th December. The Birthday Festival had concluded and the thousands who had come had dispersed and so, I could converse with her for longer hours. She has given me details of the activities of your Group. I am very happy that everyone is sincerely striving to achieve spiritual progress. I know how earnest you all are; that earnestness will certainly be rewarded.

Dear Charles, I was speaking to Jaclyn about you and others. When are you likely to come over to India? And, Bob? What are his plans? The visit of Jaclyn has forged another link between Prasanthi Nilayam here and the Prasanthi Nilayam there.

Know that I am always with you, prompting you and guiding you. I know also that you are aware of this. Live always in that Constant Presence. Love and Truth are the two wings that take an individual forward. They will inspire you to serve all righteously and lovingly, just as you would serve the Lord. This is the highest form of practical spirituality.

Jaclyn is leaving today, with this letter for you. Be writing to me, about yourself and friends. I have been getting letters from most of them. My blessings are ever with them.

With Blessings,

Sri Sathya Sai Baba
