make your desire more and more strong and do not try to hurry up. Hurry indicates unripeness and unripeness shows immaturity. Remember this well.
Respects from Raichand who carries out his life as determined by destiny.

Vavania, Aaso Sud Sixth,
Sunday, V.S. 1946. Wise brother Khimji,
Received your letter expressing your acknowledgement of gratefulness for the instruction given to you.
The securing of the path of achieving the highest objective of a living soul without single minded acceptance of spiritual instruction, is very difficult and this single minded acceptance is also very difficult.
How have you thought of achieving it? Have you thought of it either? What more! At present this is enough.
Respects from Raichand.
of seeming pleasures. Faith also seems to have been destroyed. None respects the elders. Even the rules of religious life are meeting with scorn. What is Satsang or contact of the spiritual saints which is the only duty for a man to be good - all this is already forgotten. Even to recognize the contact of a saint when it is available has become very difficult. Living beings repeatedly pass through occasions of infatuation and activities relating it. Ordinarily when a living soul hears the teachings of spiritual preceptors even once then he would really enjoy spiritual freedom and realise your real nature. But in these adverse times, these very spiritual teachings are repeatedly told time and again to persons but they are totally untouched or uninfluenced by them.

The living being feels that to raise doubts about the truth of the religious scriptures is a kind of knowledge. To achieve a worldly gain, a man does not feel sinful in cheating your devotee. The same person loves his relatives who are the cause of his acquisitiveness so much that had he directed the same love towards getting you or had he loved your devotee, then surely he would have achieved or secured you. The highest religion or duty of man to show mercy towards all living beings and to see you in all living beings and therefore to be a servant of the whole humanity has vanished.
The internal knowledge or right understanding of the great men that as you are same in all living beings, the feeling of petty differences between man and man must be abandoned, is totally absent in the world of today. To me who only desire with extreme love to be your humble servant, you offer me the contact of the effects of the adverse time.

O Lord! In these adverse times even a moment of undisturbed love for you is difficult to find. This type of retirement people have already forgotten. So engrossed in ceaseless activities, they have no knowledge of what is retirement. All effort is directed towards achieving various kind
