4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram
You did well to speak to X and also to write to Mother. Of course Mother had observed X ’s difficulties,– it is correct that the difficulty is the lack of a certain free opening – otherwise all that could be removed quickly and the necessary change of 
nature (mind, ego etc.) carried on by smooth gradations. To write as you do is helpful for opening oneself and for receiving the precise touch. X ’s logic about the Mother knowing and therefore there being no need to write is applicable if there is a free or at least a sufficient flow of giving and reception between the Mother and the sadhak, but when a serious difficulty comes, this logic is not so applicable. Naturally, we shall do our best to help him in his struggle.
