Admission, Staying, Departure

Admission to the Ashram, 1927 – 1943 [20]

It is not advisable for her to come now; she is not yet spiritually strong enough or sufficiently undivided to be able to support the pressure of the Yoga here. Nor is there at present room in the Asram. Also, she is mistaken in thinking that she has something to get directly from me other than what she has got or can get from the Mother. The only thing she can do now is to prepare herself, going on with what she has received and trying to assimilate it and bring it to her surface consciousness; especially, she has to cultivate calm, balance, simple sincerity and a quiet and firm aspiration.
