Rahimpur Ashram, Tripura
6th Baisakh, 1341
Affectionate Daughter,
Yesterday whole night I made a journey by train. Today throughout the whole day they celebrated a festival in the Rahimpur Ashram. On 6th Baisakh at Rahimpur Ashram I broke my yearly vow of silence for peace. The local youth celebrated the day every year throughout the day, they did kirtan (Songs in praise of God & distributed prasad –food offered to God) In the evening the boys assembled together and did Upasana (Prayer Service). Then I gave them some advice. It is necessary for you to listen to the advice I gave them. My advice was
Dear sons, if you feel that you are really my children, and then listen to me wholeheartedly, listen merely with your ears will not do, from you the future generation of India will take birth, you will be the ancestors of our future.
Indians, you will be the destiny fortune of future India, through penance you will have to awaken the hidden (Brahman) Absolute spirit in you, and it is through deep meditation you will have to know what wealth you will have to earn for your coming generation. Will that be of lust or restraint, will that be of greed devoid any sense of morality of self-respectful, self control? Do you want to see the coming generation possessing goal like fickle character of a divine character? I am not waiting for your oral answer; I want you to implement in action whatever I have said. I did not appear in this world to make hundreds of monks. One of two Monks of rare standard will descend by themselves only; there is no need to any Endeavour to increase their number in this world. Most of my children will take up family life in future. How would you like your companion to be in your domestic life in future? Would you like to have a greedy hellish moistness of a self-sacrificing self-restrained partner who will assist you in awakening the Absolute spirit in you? Decide what you actually want. If you want a wife who will assist you in leading a life of sacrifice, then you can get her among the maidens who are worshippers and chaste till marriage. Take an oath, my sons, you will never to molest a girl. Take an oath, never to forgive a person who plans to spoil a maiden’s chastity. Take an oath to preserve the chastity of your maiden sisters at home. Maidens chaste as fresh flowers will come to become my daughter are laws. Those who have solemnly takes this oath will get my daughters chaste like fresh flowers to brighten their homes. Gradually my long cherished dreams since my childhood to build a great Nation will come true.
To my daughters, I will have to say something co-related to whatever I have said to my sons. My entire daughter will not live as spinsters; many among them will get into making their own families. Will they pleasure loving in accompanying their pleasure loving sensuous characterless husbands? Will there be no necessity for them to get a husband who has since
has boyhood strived hard to build a perfect character, who never succumbs to greed and who has made his life style honest and beautiful ? If a girl wants to get a sinless self-restrained person to accompany her in leading a devoted life, she should take an oath never to instigate the emotions of a boy intentionally or even unintentionally she should never try to seduce a youth. She should take an oath not to forgive a lady who has tried to seduce a youth. Should resolve to keep her brothers character clean. Once I reach Nagarpar I will carry on with the topic, on which I have been discussing in my past few letters. Till you get my next letter, read this letter several times to understand it clearly. My language in hard and my style is difficult. But that will not matter. One who wants the welfare of our Nation will find out his desired object even and from my difficult language. Modern education is hindering people whether male of female from thinking deeply. Although you are little educated you must deny the bad effect of modern education you must prove that your enthusiasm can conquer even hard subjects. Remember, daughter that I am writing these letter not for any literary purpose. I am always very busy with my work; I have no spare time to write for the sake of literature. Being equipped with proper armor, you must start your adventure like the bravest ones that is what I want to see in you. You will not facilitate before any temptation, do not make any adjustment with weakness, do not waver on listening to any sugar coated words. I know that nobody can compel you to do illegal false things taking advantage of your ignorance.
My blessing to you.
