<strong>The</strong> <strong>Story</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Rama</strong><br />

inspiring suggestions from books like <strong>The</strong><br />

Thundering Dawn. Meditate on OM! And be a<br />

giver of peace to mankind and not an expectant<br />

seeker. Dear one, do you remember the last talk<br />

<strong>Rama</strong> gave you on the side of the creek at Shasta<br />

Springs? It was given not as a seeker, but as the<br />

perpetual giver of Light and Love. Our hearts<br />

break when we are in the seeking attitude. You<br />

must have verified the state of affairs in India as<br />

described in <strong>Rama</strong>‘s ―Appeal to Americans‖ Read<br />

that lecture once more, if you please. Don‘t expect<br />

any immediate, ostesfesible results you‘re your<br />

labour of love. ―Be contented to Serve‖ says the<br />

spirit of Christ. We cannot receive any gift,<br />

benediction or reward higher than the privilege of<br />

serving. If you have not met Babu Ganga Prasad<br />

Varma, editor of the Advocate, Lucknow do please<br />

see him. Does your heart take more delight in<br />

sharing the sufferings of poor Hindus in India or in<br />

enjoying the comforts of life in America?<br />

<strong>Rama</strong> was one month in Portland, Oregon, one<br />

couple of weeks in Minneapolis. Vedanta societies<br />

were organised at these places. Free scholarships<br />
