You must let the Venerable man in the turban act. As he has told you, his name does not matter. Call him 'The Venerable' if calling him the man in the turban doesn't seem respectful to you.

He is very rigorous, you will have to adapt. You have offered your self, so you have to take responsibility. Rest assured, his kindness is legendary and you are not a victim, far from it. Instead, give thanks for the grace you are receiving.

We're all very happy with what is happening to you. Your life is fraught with so much suffering, we would like to see you less overwhelmed.

Be glad for what is happening at the ashram. It too, in a way, is starting a new life. Most of the abhyasis have matured and are becoming aware of the inner reality.

Cover this place with your love and visualize it increasingly expanding, as the Beloved wishes – see you soon.
