me and in all beings, and finally, when the Lord in my heart wills
it, experience that last final union with the Purushattama Con-
sciousness and the Purushattama. I know that before this will be
possible — the path will be long and hard but I want to enter it and
go as straight and quickly as possible not stopping on the way for
the enjoyment of any psychic riches or power. But I do want along
the way to be an instrument of the spiritual Self for divine works.
I am conscious now of a terrible emptiness, that every word
and act of mine now is useless because not motivated from within
by the Self, and I am convinced that I shall never again come under
the illusion that the little self can be useful except it be guided and
illuminated by the higher self. And so I am like a lost sailor who has
left the familiar shore but does not know the way to the shore he
is seeking because he is without a compass. ...
I have heard that "when the pupil is ready the Master is there."
I do not know whether or not I am ready or whether I am capable
of following your directions, but I implore you, dear Master, to
show me the way, and I shall try to follow it without fear because
I know that you are only the representive of my own higher Con-
sciousness of which I am now unaware. If my longing for liberation
is not as deep and sincere as I think it is, please make it deeper,
dear Master for even though it tortures me at times, I do not want
to lose it.
I am told that you have disciples who do not live in your
Asram. Do you take disciples in America? If at any time you bid
me to leave all and come to your Asram to live I shall do so, God
helping me.
I shall humbly await your answer.
With heartfelt thanks for all you have already done for me,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
Margaret Woodrow Wilson
