Mumbai, Aso Vad Tenth, Saturday, V.S. 1945.
Do not search for anything else. Only you search for a true spiritual saint and when you get him, surrender to him with all humility to his command, offer all your mental trends to his lotus like feet and scrupulously follow his guidance. If after doing this you do not achieve liberation then demand it from me and you will surely get it.
A spiritual guide is one who always lives in his true self. Whatever he says, is ripe with self-experience, though it may not have been said by any scripture or it may not have been heard from any other source. Such a spiritual guide's internal activity is without any expectation or desire. Or else it is indescribable and you will never attain liberation without following what I have said above. Take this as a standard instruction based on my own experience.
If you spend your whole life in propitiating a right spiritual guide or saint, pleasing him by all devotional ways and praising him by all possible words then take it from me that you will gain liberation in the best of fifteen successive lives.
- Respects from Raichandra

We should try to be a person like the one described above.

2. You may feel unhappy and pained and you will clearly see the causes of that unhappiness and misery. In case you do not see these causes then read some of my letters to you and you will approve of what I say. The
