27th April Swami Vivekananda Life

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.

To Members of the Alambazar Math

27th April, 1896 :

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 ...
