27 April :
To Dr. Nanjunda Rao, M.D.
KHETRI,
27th April, 1893 :
DEAR DOCTOR;
Your letter has just reached me. I am very much gratified by your love
for my unworthy self. So, so sorry to learn that poor Bâlâji has lost
his son. "The Lord gave and the Lord
bath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." We only know that
nothing is lost or can be lost. For us is only submission, calm and
perfect. The soldier has no right to complain, nay murmur, if the
general orders him into the cannon's mouth. May He comfort Balaji in his
grief, and may it draw him closer and closer to the breast of the
All-merciful Mother!
As to my taking ship(from Madras) I have
already made arrangements from Bombay. Tell Bhattacharya that the Raja
of Khetri or my Gurubhâis would be the last men to put any obstacles in
my way. As for the Rajaji, his love for me is simply without limit.
May the Giver of all good bless you all here and hereafter, will be the constant prayer of
SACHCHIDANANDA.

Dear {members of the Alambazar Math},
Let me write something for you all. It is not for gaining
personal authority that I do this, but for your good and for fulfilling
the purpose for which the Lord came. He gave me the charge of you all,
and you shall contribute to the great well?being of the world though
most of you are not yet aware of it this is the special reason of my
writing to you. It will be a great pity if any feeling of jealousy or
egotism gain ground amongst you. Is it possible for those to establish
cordial relations on earth who cannot cordially live with one another
for any length of time? No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but
it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules; in other
words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round,
and so on. Secondly, it is quite natural for idle minds to indulge in
gossip, and faction?mongering, and so forth.
The the rules for the Math inmates are placed.... read fully ...
