Admission, Staying, Departure

Departure from the Ashram [44]

Does your allowing people to go out from here mean that now there is no harm in their doing so?

No, it does not; it simply means that we can’t always be holding back people whose vital says “I want to go, I want to go” and they side with the vital. They are allowed to go and take their risk.
