Surendranath Jauhar's Correspondence with The Mother

18 May 1967

Gracious Mother,

Mother, you know that J is conducting a "Poorna Swaraj Movement". He has been writing and insisting upon us all to help and collaborate in this movement. He says that he is doing all this work under your instructions and command and he has shown to us that you have written to him "Go Ahead."

He further says that he is doing all this work under command of "The Master" Sri Aurobindo who has said in the postscript chapter of "The Ideal of Human Unity" that his work must be carried on by us to save the world from the crisis and fulfil the Master's desire.

Mother, as J is living in the Delhi Ashram he is always anxious to put his viewpoint to the visitors and everyone else. In that case what is our position? What should be our attitude and how should we act and behave?

Praying for your kind grace.

Your child.

Each one is free to conduct his life as he thinks best and to say what he believes to be true.

The only thing we can do is to insist on the fact that the Ashram has nothing to do with politics, has no political views and no political activities—that is all.
