Enquiry about Ramji and others. How about spinning and weaving activities at the Ashram ? enclosing herewith Canto 14 of Gita which had been left out here only. I learn that there is some disturbance in your health because of intake of groundnut.- not advisable.- you may take almonds. maximum 5 tolas.- Roti, vegetables, milk and curds would be enough.- Some food with starch content also a cause some diseases.

I like Krishnadas idea of staying with you. But I don't want him to leave Wardha when he has begun some work and that work is still incomplete. I think discipline demands that he should stay there till he finishes that work. That which is dear to us may not be honourable to us. About Almora, you may ask Jamnalalji or Mathuradas. It may be wound up or keep the decision pending. People will deep on talking all sorts of things about such activities. We need not grow nervous on that account. You need not worry as long as you put into practice all your thoughts. We need not cherish evil thoughts. Then there is no cause for disappointment. |

Discussion re: the nature of wordly life- compared to a tree whose branches extend from top to the bottom. The soul should reach such a world from where it need not return to this world. The sensory organs try to entice man, but man has to extricate himself from their clutches. Shri Krishna says that he is the cause of everything in this world. Only God is indestructible. [Note : Gandhiji has a addressed a few words to Narandas to know from him whether women would be able to follow the explanation. If necessary, he would try to make it simpler further sometime later. |

God speaks through man and not through books. Gita is no history in its real sense. Again in those days war war no taboo and even non violent people killed animals for food What it teaches is renunciation and doing ones duty without caring for consequences if a relative has to be killed as duty it may be done without compunction. The inner meaning provides solution of fight between good and evil in one self Thanks for the offer of books. |

Gandhiji wrote for the week an article under the caption of "Death" the friend". It is about the last speech of socrates : The words he uttered just before he drank the cup of hemlock, which he was given because he had been sentenced to death. Socrates says that injustice can never be done to a good man whether in this world or the other world. He had no ill will towards those who complained against him or those who sentenced him to death. But socrates said to them that they should give similar judgment for those in future who adopt his path. |

I am writing about the reminiscences of Imam Saheb. His real name was Abdulkadar Bawazir. - went to South Africa for trading by about the same time I went there: His father, a priest at Bombay. Not much scholastic education ; knew Arabic fairly well; knew Gujarati, Konkani, English, French. - Had two wives- First met him in 1903.- Great confidence in himself. He had helped me in founding the Phoenix Farm- came to stay in the Farm worked actively- went to jail several times. An ideal prisoner. Returned to India with me for he decided to stay with me. Hence the decision. |

The first notice from the Government was received on Thursday. I met the Collector at his request. Discussion regarding the labour problem. The Collector enquired whether I was involved in political activities. I told him that my main work was the the Charakha Sangh. The Collector said that he had heard that I was involved in other activities also. I said as long as my involvement in the work of Charakha Sangh would protect the interests of the labourers involved in that work, I would keep away from the other work. The Collector asked me to give it in writing about the policy of the Charakha Sangh. I told him I would not do it only to escape from punishment. I also told him that he is free to take any action against me as per law, if he deems fit. News regarding release of Jamnalalji on the next day. Jamnalal sent a letter through Shri Jajuji to hand over the charge of Charakha Sangh to him (Jajuji). In that Jamnalalji has stated that we should go on doing work and not to bother about what people say about us. |

John Ruskin was a great writer, teacher and great philosopher. Died about 1880. - used to write monthly letters addressed to workers since 1871. Another book in four volumes about Ruskin's thoughts. The thoughts are similar to the ones which we put into practice at the Ashram. A day might come when somebody would be able to write rich Gujarati just as Ruskin wrote rich English. |

Gandhiji discusses his experience with "Magan Charakha" and also the one prepared by Prabhudas. Gandhiji was suffering from pain in his left elbow. Even then, he could continue spinning and he hoped to regain his original speed gradually. Gandhiji discuss about the nature of God. God is given different names but "Truth" or "Satya" is the one which explains fully the nature of God. Call it by any other name e.f. "Rama". If we keep on reciting the name after understanding its full meaning, then it must yield you fruit. Gandhiji refers to the death of Gangadevi, wife of Totaramji. She kept her cool till the end, reciting the name of "Rama". She asked all others to keep calm and not to be perturbed in the least. Totaramji also kept his cool and bore the loss patiently. Gangadevi brought credit to the Ashram. (Ref. to Sardar, Mahadev, Kakasaheb and Narahari.) |

The seeker of truth goes on seeking truth even when he grows old. Old age is no bar for him in his search of truth. In 1922 jail years, Shankarlal was with me. I did not cultivate the habit of viewing the sky. in 1930-31 also I could not do it. Now, I got interested in it. Our earth is a speek in the Universe. Earth is surrounded by sky(or space). Our body, a smaller speek. But even then, it is valuable because, it helps you in search of truth. We should try to know more and more about celestial objects. |

Gandhiji suggests that the name of "Ashram Samachar" be changed.- Objection to its name by the Government- No subsription to be collected. If you have not sent cotton, you may not send it at present, as Lady Vitthaldas has sent enough of it.- Reference to Sarvaiya.- Inform Dwega that Mahadev has received her letter. |

Your letter.- Government 'no' to meeting Mirabehn. I too have already decided not to meet anybody.

It presumes honesty on the part of everybody. Ragarding spinning, clean cotton should be used. stress on quality of yarn- Spinning to be treated as "Yajna". Reference to Chimanlal, Father Allwyn- Friday for Christian devotional songs.- For Islamic devotional songs Thursday may be fixed. Reference to Alubihari. For new entrants to Ashram schools, teaching of English may be introduced at al later stage. Reference to erection of a tomb for Imamsaheb.

We should worship the complete idol but nobody is complect the best idol is of Gita Mata. You can contemplete your own mother (if dead) or any word inGita in praise of God. Agood action bears fruits if not in this life then in next life. Hence we need not remain collous even in this life. Hence we need not remain callous even in this life. Seeds of good actions are carried by Atma in the next life. Gita is not history though historical figures and facts might have been used therein. |

Krishna's letter and that of Madhavdas to hand. How about Madhavdas' financial position ? Pain in my hand as it is. Not to worry. Manilal, Sushila and Sita were all down with fever during Christmas. Now doing well. Why Madhavdas is so uneasy ? We need not be ashamed of being poor. By and large, man is born to be poor. Very few rich men in the world. |

If we apply to hand spun yarn the testing apparatus used in mills, the result will be misquiding because the breaking point cannot represent the quality of the remaining yarn as the whole of it cannot be uniform. We should therefore depend upon the opinion of the weaver. Yarn even if of higher cannot if found to be unsuitable by the weaver is useless. Rough khadi produced by the poor can be marketable if people offer to work freely in converting it into ready made clothes etc. and this too my hand sewing as all cannot afford a sewing machine. Gandhiji then advises about diet. |
