(Letter to Mother from Satprem)<\/i>
\n

Pondicherry, February 3, 1958
\n

Sweet Mother,
\n

What you told me today at noon has left me stunned. I had decided to have my own way, but now I pray to be true.
\n

I would like to tell you that ‘I am staying,’ very simply, for something in me wants this, but I am afraid to make a decision that I may not be able to keep. A force other than mine is needed. In short, you have to do the willing for me, to utter a word that would help me understand truly that I must stay here. Grant me the grace of helping and enlightening me. I would like to decide without preference, in obedience to the sole Truth and in accordance with my real possibilities.
\n

I have received a long letter from Swami,’ who in essence says that I should be able to realize what I have to realize right here with you, but he does not refuse to take me with him should I persist in my intention.
\n

Mother, I am placing all this in your hands, sincerely.<\/i>
\n

I am your child.
\n

Signed: <\/i>Satprem
\n

1 A Sannyasi, or wandering monk, whom Satprem would join a few weeks later in Ceylon, on February 27, and who would initiate him as a Sannyasi. Unfortunately, almost all the correspondence from this period has been lost.
