पूज्य मां,
प्रणाम। आपका पत्र मिला : खुशी हुई। इस बीच आप पर बहुत काम रहा पर मैं जानता हूँ कि सेवा का सब काम आपकी क्षमता से सदा कम है इसलिए निश्चिंत हूँ।

प्रेम काम को आनंद में परिणत कर देता है। जिस कार्य को, जिस सेवा को आपने अपने हाथ में लिया है उसमें आप अपने को जितना मिटा देंगी उतनी ही उपलब्धि होगी। बीज जैसे अपने को खोकर वृक्ष में पा लेता है; वैसे ही व्यक्ति सेवा और प्रेम में अपने को खोकर विराट में पालेता है।

खोना ही पाना है। अपने को सिकोड़े सुरक्षित रखना ही खोदेना है। यह जीवन का विज्ञान है। यह विज्ञान बड़ा उल्टा है। साधारण गणित के यह एकदम विपरीत है। ईसा ने कहा है : जो अपने को खोता है वही प्रभु को पासकता है।

मेरी प्रार्थना यही है कि आप मिट जायें। इस तरह वह मिलेगा जिसे पाने को यह अवसर है।

पचमढ़ी १० को जाने को आप लिखी हैं। देशलहरा जी कब पचमढ़ी पहुँच रहे हैं? फिर आपके साथ पारखजी तथा और कौन आने को हैं। यहां से मैं, क्रांति और संभवत: अरविंद सभी चलेंगे। जब भी ठीक समझें आप यहां आ जायें और यहां से हम चलें। संभव है कि डेरिया जी या ताराचंद भाई कोठारी भी वहां पहूँचें। देशलहरा जी के यहां कितने जनों की व्यवस्था होसकेगी यह सोचलें अन्यथा फिर कोई और व्यवस्था करनी होगी।

एक स्वप्न कल देखा हूँ। बहुत आदेशपूर्ण था आप मिलेंगी तब बातें होंगी। उस स्वप्न में मुझे कहा गया है कि मैं आपके और अपने बीच मोह विकसित न होने दूँ। वह दोनों की प्रगति में बाधा बन जायेगा। यह आदेश सामयिक है। भला लगा। अभी कोई डर तो न था पर मन की कौन कहे?

सबको मेरे विनम्र प्रणाम।

२५ अप्रिल १९६१
