69-11“Recently I have received one letter from Rayarama in which he has signed his name as Raymond. That means he has drifted from our Society completely and his letter is very discouraging. He has accused everyone save himself. So I do not know what can be done with him. In the Bhagavad-Gita we understand from the 16th chapter that when a living entity becomes envious of Krsna, he is put into the darkest region of material existence, exactly in the same way as when a citizen is disobedient, law-breaker, he is put into the prison cells. So this is nature's way beginning from Krsna, and one has to undergo such stringent regulative principles of material nature in such disobedient position. So I have not replied that letter, I have got it in the file. When I return to Boston, if you like, you can see it.”
