MY BROTHER:

I think you know without any emphasis upon my part that the relation between us remains unbroken, though I have not been able for some time to contact you subjectively. This inability on my part is because the stimulation, which such a contact would inevitably bring, might (as it always has in the past) feed the glamors to which you so easily succumb.

The danger is now, I believe, greatly lessened and you can be trusted today with a closer contact with me and with the group on the inner subjective plane. The inner group remains and is closely linked with me.

For you, the remainder of this life must be given to the steady adherence to the duty of the day and to an intense inner life of meditation. Be consciously the sannyasin. Also, my brother, cooperate in all that proves itself (to your intuition) to be group activity and to which you can contribute power (gained in meditation) and understanding help. All else must be ruled out for this life; meditation and group service must, and will, provide adequate expression for all the powers of your personality and your soul. Find time for that service and be not entirely overwhelmed with the business of the physical plane. Your daily business, your daily service in your environment, your sensitivity to my impression (which can increasingly be developed) and your relation with the inner group on the mental plane will give you scope for loving, fruitful living and prepare you for the freer service of the next life.

You have had a grueling and a testing time, my brother. Your improvement has been slow but real. You can be trusted more definitely now than in the past and it is for this reason that I again offer you a more conscious contact with myself. I here tell you my name - a fact that you already intuitively know. I am, by doing so, telling you of your status upon the Path - that of an Accepted Disciple. This carries with it, its encouragement, its responsibilities and its risks.
