6 PLACE DES ETATS UNIS,
September, 1900.
MY DEAR TURIYANANDA,
Just now I received your letter. Through Mother's will all work will go on;
don't be afraid. I shall soon leave for some other place. Perhaps I shall be
on a tour of Constantinople and other places for some time. Mother knows
what will come next. I have received a letter from Mrs. Wilmot. From this,
too, it appears that she is very enthusiastic. Sit firm and free from
worries. Everything will be all right. If hearing the Nada etc. does anyone
harm, he can get rid of it if he gives up meditation for a time and takes to
fish and meat. If the body does not become progressively weak, there is no
cause for alarm. Practice should be slow.
I shall leave this place before your reply comes. So do not send the reply
to this letter here. I have received all the issues of Sarada's paper, and
wrote to him lots a few weeks ago. I have a mind to send more later on.
There is no knowing where my next stop will be. This much I can say that I
am trying to be free from care.
I received a letter from Kali, too, today. I shall send him a reply
tomorrow. The body is somehow rolling on. Work makes it ill, and rest keeps
it well — that is all. Mother knows. Nivedita has gone to England. She and
Mrs. Bull are collecting funds. She has a mind to run a school at Kishengarh
with the girls she had there. Let her do what she can. I do not intervene
any more in any matter — that is all.
My love to you. But I have nothing more to advise as regards work.
Yours in service,
VIVEKANANDA.
