(Letter to Mother from Satprem)
Rameshwaram, Monday, 29 April
Sweet Mother,
On Friday X gave me a new mantra, then the next day he told me that during his puja he received an “order” to the effect that this mantra was not suitable and he should give me another one. I am supposed to receive the new mantra tomorrow, Tuesday. X said this mantra would be final and with effect. I do hope so, for I would really like to be through with all these changes and preparations and delays, to have the Word, as the Rishis said, and fix myself on it. I would like not to return to Rameshwaram any more and to be through with these dillydallyings. Anyway, I’ll have to wait for another three days after receiving the new mantra, so that

X can see whether it has the desired "effect." So I cannot leave until Thursday.
I hope this time it will be final and everything will settle into the true Rhythm.
I feel your help very strongly.
With love,
Signed: Satprem
