1) Do not arrange cooked food in Moradabad from 1 st January onwards as bhiksha. 2) If absolutely willing and of your own accord, and without expectation of any result or reward, spiritual or otherwise, and without expecting nazar, blessings, et cetera, you can send before 1 st January purely as bhiksha, as much and whatever you can in the form of grain, fruits, dried fruits, provisions and ghee. 3) If you send the above-mentioned in bhiksha, they will be used from 1 st January, 1950, onwards, as the 100 percent New Life of labor, begging, et cetera, will begin with the year 1950. 4) We may leave Moradabad any day after the 1 st , maybe a day later or a fortnight later. Therefore, whatever you send as eatables, and whatever Kishan Singh and Kain want to send in warm clothing as bhiksha, should be sent before 1 st January 1950. 5) Warm clothing should consist of blankets, pullovers [sweaters], jackets, socks and gloves, and should be given in bhiksha. 6) None of you should come here [to Moradabad], nor should you contact the companions nor correspond with us. Send everything with your typist, Anangopal.
On receipt of this letter, Harjiwan Lal immediately sent the following items with the typist, accompanied by Harjiwan's twelve-year-old son, Indersain.
40 blankets 37 sweaters 58 pairs of woolen socks 30 pairs of cotton socks 20 mufflers 6 knitted winter caps 1 woolen jacket 2 tins of dried fruit 2 tins of ghee 2 tins of sweetmeats 1 tin of sohan halva (a sweet) 1 tin of carrot halva 1 box of tea 1 box of preserves 1 basket of fruit 1 tin of dal and spices 1 box of pickles 1 box of cigarettes 2 trunks containing some of the above items.
All of the above had cost Harjiwan Lal approximately Rs.2,200. In addition he was to send 20 seers of sugar in alms before 1 January. Harjiwan Lal had already bought everything before receiving Baba's instructions, so it took him no time at all to consult Was Deo Kain and Kishan Singh and send the items. Although Harjiwan Lal had only met Eruch and Adi in Moradabad, he had been deeply moved by the companions' state and wished to dispatch the parcels as soon as possible.
No sooner did Baba come to know that Harjiwan's son Indersain had accompanied the typist and met Babadas (who had been forbidden to have any contact with the Harjiwan Lal family) than he sent word for Indersain to go back immediately with all the parcels. Hearing this, Indersain fainted. When Baba was informed, he merely smiled, called the boy to sit near him and then agreed to accept the bhiksha. The following message was sent to Harjiwan Lal:
Baba has accepted with great happiness what you have sent in bhiksha according to your list. The 32 pairs of cotton pajamas, which you have kept ready to be given before January 1st in bhiksha, can be sent with Keki Desai to Dehra Dun to be given to me [Baba] there.
