The Story Of Swami Rama
OM!
Shasta Springs, California,
October 16, 1903
MOST BLESSED NOBLE SURYANANDA,
Both your letters came to Rama's hands
simultaneously this noon. All is well and
satisfactory. As you are going on a long trip, it
might prove beneficial for you to add a little more
to your knowledge of human nature, and indelibly
impress on your mind the importance of keeping
ourselves perfectly collected, serene, and at home
all the time. The apparent delays and oppositions
are all meant to add to your inner power and
purity 17 . Naturalists have decisively shown that no
evolution or progress could ever take place had it
not been for struggles and opposition.
Do you remember the story of Robert Bruce and
the Spider? ―Is not every grand discovery preceded
by hundreds, nay thousands of unsuccessful
17
This was in reference to a delay of certain matter which gave
Mrs. Wellman much uneasiness on the eve of her departure to
India
