Dear-,
Accept my blessings & affection.
You are really born to serve society at large and humanity in general without the least distinction of caste, creed, sect, language, province of any differentiating element. You
are for everybody and for all times. Your parents had the good fortune to have imbedded some ingrained ideas of serving society at the time when you were initially and really born
in the ovum of your affectionate mother. That is why you are so noble in your sentiments and aspirations and so large-hearted and broadminded. As engineer of human-material allow me the chance to utilize you as great general in the service in the service of humanity under a definite scheme and well-thought out plan. For this, you have to obey, love, respect abide by the orders of your parents. Love for parents, respect for father and mother, gratitude to them for the inheritance of a pure mind in a sound body, is the first step-stone to real civilization. You should not and cannot be tempted to ephemeral happiness under the guise of sweet words and under camouflage of so-called social service. Pack yourself us like a soldier in the battlefield and don’t allow a single drop of blood to drop from your body purposelessly and in vain. Today I am very busy. This letter will be followed by others.
Accept my blessings again and again.
Yours affectionately,
Swarupananda
