September 5, 1934

I am very glad of what you have written. I would very much have liked all along if your path had been painless and sunlit, but as it was not to be the next best is that the clouded and stormy path should lead you towards the Light. I have no doubt – and never doubted – that it will and I trust that a sunnier (transit) is now not far off.

As for perversity – well, I fear it is an element of human nature present in almost all; it is nothing but the vital – not the bigger and nobler part of it, but the smaller wanting to get its own way and twisting about to justify its refusal to change.

I leave Rama then and turn to Harmony and Bejoy Goswami?
