For the Sake of Devotees

Muddu Krishna, not knowing your father’s address, I write this letter to you. Read this, and send it to the family.

My loving devotees, Radhakrishnayya, Radhamma, Krishnamurthy, Kumari, Amba, Prema, Sarala, to all of you, I write this letter with My wholehearted blessings.

Oh folks! The letters written by you people with immense love have been received by Me. I was very happy. You may have expected My reply for these letters, but you already know how much work I have here! You people may wonder why I do not have time to write even two words. Actually, I do not have time even to go to My room. Then, how could I write? Oh folks! Whatever I may say in this regard, the devotees would not believe.

Here, Sakamma’s children, their in-laws–all together nearly 50 of them–have arrived. The Rani of Bobbli, the Princess of Mysore, the Rani of Sandur and their helpers, about 50 of them, are here. Besides all these Princesses, Ranis, etc., there are more than five to six hundred people. This shed is not sufficient. For Me, the day and the night seem to be the same. There is no question of sleep and food. There is no time for Me to even sit for a while. Is not all this for the sake of the devotees? Whatever small work I do, is it not for the sake of the devotees? Actually, there is no work for Myself. To look after the welfare of the devotees and to do good to them is my work!

Actually, what work I do is all for you people. If it were not for this, to move around day and night, taking all this trouble, not worrying about it, to do so much going all around–would I require anything for Myself? My main aim is to ensure your happiness, nullify the Karma; it is for this that I take all this trouble. Even then, whatever troubles I may take, if all you people become happy and derive good, I shall never feel all this as any trouble at all. But, oh folks! I am happy to learn about your marriage. I am very anxiously waiting as to when it will happen! I also eagerly await when this ocean of happiness shall engulf Me! Do not delay; make it as early as possible; it would be for the better. With regard to Myself, whenever I will, I shall come! This is the truth. I would very much like to see My loving Krishna. I am unable to express this desire of Mine. If time permits, will the family send you? They may be angry with Me, for I did not send letters in time. Actually, I dwell in your hearts. What more can there be than this? My blessings to Murali and all other children.
