Admission, Staying, Departure

Admission to the Ashram, 1927 – 1943 [66]

As for X he can remain in Calcutta. I do not consider it likely that we shall permit him to be a permanent resident of the Asram unless he is or becomes very different from what his letter indicates. At some future date it may be possible for him to have darshan. Why should everybody want to be in the Asram? There are many practising sadhana outside. The number in the Asram must necessarily be limited. I have no objection to his preparing himself for this Yoga, if he feels the call to do so, there are many who are doing that.
