Letter II

From Swami Ji to Rai Saligram

The contents of your letter have been read out to Huzur Swami Ji Maharaj and your cherished wish has been conveyed to Him. Huzur was greatly pleased, and He graciously observed:

"Your request is granted. Love and devotion, yearning and earnestness, would now go on increasing day by day. If the Lord pleases, (and it is in fact his pleasure) you would not forget Him even for a moment. Rest assured that His loving memory will always remain with you inwardly in a subtle form.

This gift is bestowed on you as a matter of grace, for you have done nothing to incur so much of Huzur’s pleasure as to deserve such a great gift. Just as a charitable person gives to an importunate beggar out of his habitual compassion, so to you also, He has given, given, given. You will now come soon. The Lord is omnipotent."
