Government is callous in not allowing the Vaidya to stay with the patient. I therefore suggest (1) this may be permitted or (2) She may be released on parole or (3) I may be relieved of the responsibility of looking after her by removing me some where else. |

Gandhiji refutes certain statements made by Government regarding steps taken by them to procure medical aid and shows how late it was permitted. For this he quotes chapter and verse, gives a history of the efforts made by him and lays blame on Government Shows how hollow Government claim is to procure medical aid in time; providing trained nurses etc etc. |

I have gone though your statement. You deserve congratulations for the celebration of "Rentia Baras" every year. You have been doing good work. Even though the spinning wheel is quite slow compared to the machines of the West, we love it. It is the symbol of non-violence. But we should have complete knowledge of the technique. Just as knowledge without faith is meaningless, faith without knowledge is blind. |
