Dear Ananda Prema, Love and blessings.
Received your letter. I was waiting for it daily, since you left.
I know that you have gone far away from here; but I also know that NOW you cannot go away from ME.
And, that nearness is all that counts.
You have come near to me in a non-spatial and non- temporal sense.
The meeting has taken place in the NO-WHERE.
Or, in the EVERY-WHERE.
Because, they both mean the same thing.
And, the real MEETING takes place only in this way.
All else is illusion.
Remember me whenever you need and you will find me then and there.
Ask, anything - and WAIT and you will be answered.
The barriers have fallen down from your mind.
And, you have entered the meditative state.
Now the DOORS of the divine are open.
DO NOT HESITATE AND TAKE THE PLUNGE.
You are completely ready - just only be courageous to enter the uncharted and the unknown.
The CALL from BEYOND has come - now accept the challenge and be FULFILLED.
Now, close your eyes and feel me and see me and let my blessings be showered on you.
Send Bhakti soon and convey my love to her.
