Kirankumari's Correspondence with The Mother

23 December 1938

My loving Mother,

I am again feeling sorry today. I don’t like it but I become sorry. People speak to me and I get angry with them. But Mother, I do not wish to be angry. I feel very sorry afterwards. You must make me very strong, Mother. I cannot control myself, so I become like that.

To do good work regularly you must learn to control yourself and not allow all these moods to overcome you. To do good work you must think only of the work and not of yourself.

Love and blessings to my dear child
