Admission, Staying, Departure

Admission to the Ashram, 1927 – 1943 [60]

Here is a man of fifty intending vānaprastha, who thinks our Asram will just be the place for him. He says he has prepared himself for Asram life; his only fault being taking a little opium for the sake of health. He can bring with him Rs. 150 in cash.

Declined with thanks. Opium not allowed here. Also this is not a Vanaprastha Asram.
