Seeks enlightenment on two statements by 'G' (1) Threr is no
mint in a public worker doing work in utter disregard of his health and (2)
Untruth creeps in our conduct when we desire to tell truth pleasantly G. says
(1) Working beyond capacity is no 'Ahimsa' (2) We shoulds speak pleasantly
but there is the danger of untruth creeping in. |

Your saying that (1) neglect of health by a public worker is not
a merit, requires clarification. Sacrifice and public work go hand in hand
(2) Telling truth un a palatable form is a form of untruth. That also
requires clarification. (1) Real Ahimsa is based on knowledge of limitation.
(2) Truth becomes untruth when to put it in a palatable form one tries to
please others. |

Gandhiji left uneasy because there was no letter from Mira for
quite some time. He wants her to write to him at least once a week, even a
post card would do- Gandhiji wanted to know if Mira had left Oel for good.
Mira's new place was attractive but Gandhiji was too busy to find time to go
there: Reference to Rajkumari Amritkaur, Maharani of Vizianagaram &
Radha. Prithir Singh is at Ghogha with his band of volunteers. |

Three questions-(1) Why is Brahmacharya restricted to austerity
(2) why is Namsmaran regarded as King of sacrifices and (3) why did you give
up the fast undertaken to find out the thief of the pen and the letter?
Gandhiji replies (1) Brahmacharya chiefly concerns the body; but it need not
be restricted to it (2) Prayer is the best sacrifice because there is the
minimum pysical efforts and maximum advantage. (3) The fast was for my own
satisfaction. |

over them. You may stay at Godhra or at Wardha. Ask Chhagandlal also . It is
desirable that the parents should know the demerits of their children. As

Your letter. Kakasaheb also appreciates your experiences as a

will lie here for some time. In the meanwhile, you may do some other work.

follow Singher or the spinning Jenny. Spinning wheel and "Takli"

important, because He is the Master of results. I am not writing separately
