The Mother : correspondence
THEME/S
Born on 14 June 1909, the Gujarati disciple Ambu (Ambalal Desai) came to live in the Ashram on 19 May 1928 at the age of eighteen. The Mother affectionately called him her "Baby". His main work was cleaning the Mother's kitchen vessels, but he also worked in the Granary, nursed invalids and collected flowers. Later he was the Ashram's hatha yoga teacher. Ambu lived in the Ashram for sixty-four years, until his passing on 18 April 1993 at the age of eighty-three.
Ambu's correspondence with the Mother covers the period from 1933 to 1941.
I do not want the work of slaves; I want the work of free people who work because they feel benefited by it and for whom work is a source of joy and strength.
Whatever you cannot do in that spirit, it is better not to do.
11 January 1933
