Respects from Raichand who always desires to live in the same way as described in this letter.
that all activities like performance of yogic practices, incantation of the name of the Lord, practices of penance etc, are going through by you only to liberate your true self and therefore you must be prepared to leave them when you gain yourself. These practices should not bind you or keep you enchained in them. They are all means to the final goal of liberation. So they must be left when the goal is reached by you.
Respects from one who is bearing a fictitious name.

Strong love and highest joy will bring you success in this study and it will eventually bring you in contact with a great spiritual master who will guide you to realize the truth which you had never experienced in your past. Remember
Salutations to the right spiritual self, without any feeling of separateness and with unique devotion to it.
The realization of the spiritual self is difficult without experiencing the unswerving love of the lotuslike feet of the enlightened spiritual guide who always moves freely and
