The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 5/Epistles - First Series/CXVII Rakhal
CXVII
(Translated from Bengali)
Benares (Varanasi) Cantonment,
12th February 1902.
My Dear Rakhal,[1]
I was glad to get all the detailed news from your letter. Regarding
Nivedita's School, I have written to her what I have to say. My opinion is
that she should do what she considers to be best.
Don't ask my opinion on any other matter either. That makes me lose my
temper. Just do that work for me — that is all. Send money, for at present
only a few rupees are left.
Kanai (Nirbhayananda) lives on Mâdhukari[2],
does his Japa at the bathing ghat, and comes and
sleeps here at night; Nyedâ does a poor man's work and comes and sleeps here
at night. "Uncle"[3] and Niranjan have gone to Agra. I may get their letter today.
Continue doing your work as the Lord guides. Why bother about the opinion of
this man and that? My love to all.
Yours affectionately.
Vivekananda.
