艢谤墨 B膩l膩nanda 膧艣谤补尘补 鈥�Santosh Ashram鈥� P.O.鈥擜shram Karanibara, Deoghar (Bihar) 14/1/1981

艢谤墨 惫补颈峁ａ箛补惫补-cara峁噀 da峁囜笉avan-nati p奴rvikeyam鈥�

鈥斺赌擯rabho! I just received here your international letter dated 9/1/81. Prior to this, while I was in 笔耻谤墨-诲丑腻尘补, I also received the letter you sent on the 31st of 艢谤腻惫补峁嘺 (16/8/80). At the time, my body was ill so I was not able to reply to your letter. Do forgive me for that.

After consulting with my doctor,鈥斺赌�, and鈥斺赌�, I have come to Baidyanath-Deoghar on 6/12/80 for a change of climate. Since I came here, I have been quite well. I am taking medicine regularly, taking 辫谤补蝉腻诲补, and taking rest. I have not written a letter in a long time, and now that I am writing one or two letters, I see that I have fallen out of practice.

The water and air in Baidyanath-Deoghar is very healing. The natural scenery is also very enchanting. We have rented a house named 鈥淪antosh Ashram鈥� from the management of 艢谤墨 B膩l膩nanda 膧艣谤补尘补 for a monthly 200 rupees. The environment in the 腻艣谤补尘补 is very beautiful. In all four directions, temples, ponds, gardens of fruits, flowers, and vegetables have enhanced the beauty of the 腻艣谤补尘补. Vaidyan膩thaj墨 of Deoghar is a holy place famously mentioned in the 艢颈惫补 笔耻谤腻峁嘺. Not too far away, about thirty-five to forty miles, and especially worthy of seeing, is 艢谤墨 Madhus奴danaj墨 atop 惭腻苍诲腻谤补 Mountain. This is where the churning of the ocean took place. I am very sad to find out that you have been attacked by typhoid and that D墨d墨 was so sick that she was losing consciousness. I hope the both of you have since recovered. May 艢谤墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 keep you healthy and may you remain absorbed in hari-bhajana without any worries.

The perils of material existence have been and always will be there.

鈥淲hen I can steady the mind, sitting in a solitary place, and sing the name of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, then the call of material existence will not enter my ears, and the afflictions of the body will remain far away.鈥� 

What you wrote is true: 

鈥淲hatever occurs in worldly affairs, let it be. Whatever is going to happen, let it happen. Beholding the pure 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 and touching them, etc. is the only thing that brings auspiciousness to the conditioned soul.鈥�

You two will never be cheated of the association of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. 艢谤墨p膩da鈥斺赌�惭补丑腻谤腻箩补 and various other pure-hearted 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 frequent where you are. This is a matter of great good fortune. You two have received the special mercy of the 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, so there is no reason for you to have any worries. It is true that the supremely merciful 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 appear on the doorsteps of those immersed in family life in order to deliver and protect them from the blind well of family life. Their merciful glance is surely directed towards the souls of this world. 鈥�

You have written: 鈥淗ow long will it be till we see you again? I do not want to be cheated of Vai峁ａ箛ava association in any way in this life. I am a 驳峁沨补尘别诲丑墨. I have no qualification. Though we have committed hundreds of offences, out of mercy, please forgive us. I do not have proper knowledge of language. I do not even have the qualification to write properly. All I wish for is that we attain your mercy and that your merciful gaze stays upon us.鈥� Only you can judge whether or not what you wrote me was accurate. Am I your superior, your custodian, or judge? I have never considered myself as such, nor do I now. So, leave me out of this matter and do forgive me. You cannot recognize who I am. That is what is sad! I never make 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 accountable to me, and I have no desire to do so. I am involved in the 尘补峁环补 mission, and, as per the rules, I am bound to do something. I specially request you to kindly not take offence. They have invited me to go to Kashinagar. Is it not possible to go without invitation? Am I the only one who has lost my independence as an individual, so much so that I cannot tread a path in that direction? Whenever I get the chance and convenience and have a need to, I will go right then. I have a sort of personal independence and viewpoint, which even my people in the 尘补峁环补 mission do not know about, and I do not let anyone know about it.

I have repeatedly obstructed your efforts to establish your temple in Kashinagar because I knew that after a few days, you would meet with the dilemma of rendering proper 蝉别惫腻-辫奴箩腻 (service and worship). 艢谤墨 痴别诲腻苍迟补 Samiti is not going to take on this homestead temple. I already explained this to you, so you would know beforehand. But you do not really listen to what I say, and now you are stuck in a difficult situation. Now, as I said, it is quite inconvenient. You cannot abandon 峁琱腻办耻谤补鈥檚 蝉别惫腻-辫奴箩腻 to go anywhere for even one or two days. And you cannot even fathom how much more inconvenience you would be dealing with if you were actually doing the 蝉别惫腻-辫奴箩腻 yourself, with your own hands!

I have not seen your [book] Bhakti-驳墨迟颈 before. When I received [for my approval] the submission from the 笔补迟谤颈办腻 office, all I did was tell you exactly what you needed to do [to correct it]. Some objections have come, and that is precisely why we [the 笔补迟谤颈办腻 team] have had to take certain measures. It certainly is and will remain my responsibility to see that no one finds fault in you and also to make sure that you do not create any sort of inconvenience for the mission, knowingly or unknowingly. I have written to 艢谤墨p膩da鈥斺赌敳巡钩竽灏�腻箩�� and鈥斺赌攖o bring the rest of the copies of Bhakti-驳墨迟颈 on the day of 艢谤墨la Guru 惭补丑腻谤腻箩补鈥檚 disappearance festival. I heard you perhaps sent a single copy of the book to the [笔补迟谤颈办腻] office via someone. When you yourself were present, was it not proper for you to deliver them with your own hands? In the future, though, please do not print this book again. This too is my special request.

I submit one more matter to you. I have heard that鈥斺赌�, who abandoned the 艢谤墨 痴别诲腻苍迟补 Samiti 尘补峁环补, has at present left his saffron cloth and is working as a 辫奴箩腻谤墨 at your place. He can leave the 尘补峁环补 and go home and enter family life, but I have not been able to understand whose permission you received to keep him there. Is this how you are going to stay on good terms with the 尘补峁环补? He could not find work in Belgachi at a tile factory, so it would be best if you did not keep him there. That sort of arrogant, convenience-seeking, and whimsical person can never find auspiciousness. If you let him go from your temple, I will be free of concern. I will not have a chance or the time to go to Kashinagar before 艢谤墨 Vy膩sa-辫奴箩腻. I still want to go one time later.

For at least three months, from January onwards, I am forbidden to give classes and lead 办墨谤迟补苍补. So, if I go, I will have no option but to just remain seated. Please accept my prostrated obeisances. Convey my affectionate wishes and blessings to everyone there. Iti鈥�
