Wherever you are, I am there

Dear Mamutha and Ramu,

Fling all your cares and burdens

Do not be doubtful about your path

For the path is worship itself.

I am happy to receive all your letters. You had written to me saying that you were going to Bombay and I had not written to you all these days. Wherever and whatever you may be, in your moments of suffering and joy alike, you think of me. Know that I am always with you as the ‘Life of your life’. I am aware of the sufferings you are undergoing not due to any sins or mistakes on your part, but due to the inhumanness of the humanity amidst which you are living. I make my beloved ones tread the path of suffering to reach me.

Well, Mamutha, in a way, I am sorry to know that you are leaving for your country. You have left your people, your wealth and everything and have come down to India in search of the path that leads you to God. You have left the material wealth to know the spiritual one and have come down to India, but I am afraid India has given you less than what you deserve. And now you are returning to your country, your dreams half-realized and half-broken. Yes, Mamutha, I too want to see you before you leave India. Let me know when you are intending leaving for your country, so that I may come down to Bangalore to give you Darshan and bless you with peace.

With blessings to you and Ramu
