Vavania, bhadra Vad Fifth Wednesday V.S. 1947 I have read details written in your letter. It is our duty to have patience and feel happiness in God's will.
In Kaliyuga it is very difficult to recognise self realised saint. Still our infatuation with wealth and woman does not allow us to follow such saint. Even after recognising, it is natural for soul to remain unchanged. In this Kaliyug, who do not get infatuated are worthy of salutations.

A man cannot see his spiritual self till he loves worldly objects and occasions and he finds them bringing happiness to him under the spell of steep ignorance, and also it is impossible for him to acknowledge the greatness of satsanga or contact of spiritually enlightened souls. One should make the right spiritual effort to develop the worldly love into the spiritual love with assiduous concentration of thought and action. I have written this fact to you knowing it to be consistent with truth at all times and so without any personal desire or wish of mine.
