Letter to The Maharaja Of Khetri
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work is the only way. Go on; remember — patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail — Mother will never leave you, and all blessings will be yours.
