Ambu's Correspondence with The Mother

21 November 1937

My lovely Ma,

You have given me the work of picking flowers and giving flowers to people when they need them. I have been doing all this as best I can. Now X, who has been given only the work of garden organisation, has begun to interfere and give away flowers himself.

Don't you think he ought to refer people to me and say, "It is his work", for harmony and accurate results? When I told him this, he said, "Complain to Mother and I will answer her."

Evidently all these things have to be adjusted and I shall see to it. But during these days, when the Ashram is filled with visitors, it is surely not a time for quarrels but for work done harmoniously in a spirit of collaboration without insisting on personal considerations.

Love and blessings to my dear faithful Baby
