Notices of 1929–1937
[22]1
The attention of the sadhaks is called to the terms of the Notice of the 2d December.
It is quite impossible for us at the present time to go on again dealing with masses of correspondence which keep the Mother after her day’s work still occupied up to the small hours of the morning and myself answering letters all the night. Under such conditions the really important work we have to do cannot be done.
The sadhaks are asked to restrict their correspondence to what is necessary only, to a minimum.
The rule that no letters should be sent after 7 pm must also be observed. We cannot have personal books and letters pouring in till late at night.
It is also necessary to recall the fact that Sunday is a complete non-correspondence day. Latterly this rule seems to have been too much ignored, often forgotten altogether.
