I asked him why he did not come more often, as this was the first visit for quite some time. He smiled and said, “That would not do. As long as you have me for a crutch to lean on, you will not try to get things for yourself. You have now reached the point in your development where you do not need my help any longer.

It just seemed the devil (self) was behind, in front of and all around me, continually trying to uproot the beautiful truths Rajah had taught me. At last, in desperation, I called to Rajah. He came to me, and in his knowing way, said:
