To Srimathi Subbamma garu,
I was glad to receive your letter and was overjoyed to hear that your son’s marriage is settled. Even though the devotee did not come, still am happy. I am satisfied if you keep Me in your mind. Wherever you are, I will be happy if you are all safe. When I am residing in your hearts how can you be far from Me? My Name and Form are imprinted in your minds, so how can I be far away from you? Between God and devotee there are no distances. I am always by your side and you are always Mine. All of you come to Puttaparthi after the function.
The function will be celebrated with gaiety and happiness all-round. I bless the couple with health and prosperity, children and grandchildren, wisdom, detachment, tranquility and peace. May they have a happy and pleasant married life. Convey My blessings to them. Convey My blessings to your husband and children. The very fact of the marriage of your son brings happiness to Me.
I will never forget you. I have not forgotten, nor will I ever forget you. This is the truth. What do I have other than My devotees? My devotees are the source of My entire happiness. There is no happiness for Me if I forget them.
With Blessings
Baba garu
