“I am happy to hear that you are keeping well. Why should you be otherwise, seeing that you are under his protective care? He is an incarnation of God born for this age. He is living, transparent, watchful. He assumed a human form to lead mankind to salvation in this kali yuga. Look around. You can see his power as a savior working everywhere in the world. But this is only the beginning. There is no way of telling how much, the ore is yet to happen! Those who have taken refuge in him will certainly prosper. This is only the beginning of the golden age.”

“The sheer intensity of the will do everything. . . . You should compose a general public which should consistently meet, and keep in touch with me about it as frequently as possible. Truth be told, get up as much eagerness as you can. Just, be careful with misrepresentation. Get down to business, my young men, the flame will come to you! The personnel of the association is altogether missing in our inclination, however, this must be mixed. The extraordinary mystery is – the nonappearance of envy. Be constantly prepared to yield to the assessments of your brethren, and attempt dependably to placate. That is the entire mystery. Battle on boldly! Life is short! Surrender it to an extraordinary reason.”

“The Master used to say, “I am and my mother is.” That is all. Whom else do you want? The main thing is to adhere to the ideal with patience. If you can do that, gradually everything will be favorable. Hold on to the Master; you will be surprised at the result that will follow. Just make up your mind to engage yourself in the Lord’s work. Let others go wherever they please. Let your body and mind be absorbed in him. Days are passing by, never to return. Don’t forget your main task. Make the master your very own. Then everything will follow by itself…Gird your loins and plunge into the task

“Why do you consider yourself so worthless? Please shun this negative feeling completely. intelligent your strong relationship with God, you have to move towards him. Never forget that you are his child. Human connections are easygoing and passing, yet the association with the Lord is endless. “The ever-free Atman takes a human birth in order to taste the bliss of liberation-in-life and not for the fulfillment of any worldly desires”. I can hardly convey to you what a wonderful joy and light dawned on me when I first read this verse of Shankara (actually Narahari). At that point, the motivation behind life sparkled forward before me, and all issues were comprehended naturally Truly there is no reason for the ever-free Atman to assume a The mortal body, except that It likes to enjoy freedom while in the body.”

“I am quite satisfied with my work. I never planned anything. I have taken things as they came. Only one idea was burning in my brain to start the machine for elevating the Indian masses- and that I have succeeded in doing to a certain extent…He is with me, the Beloved, He was when I was in America, in England, when I was roaming about unknown from place to place in India…I feel my task is done — at most, three or four years more of life are left. I have lost all wish for my salvation. I never wanted earthly enjoyments. I must see my the machine in strong working order, and then knowing sure that I have put in a lever for the good of humanity, in India at least, which no power can drive back, I will rest, without minding what will be straightaway; and may I be conceived over and over, and endure a large number of torments so I may love the main God that exists, the main God I have faith in, the whole everything being equal – or more all, my God the insidious, my God the hopeless, my God the poor all things considered, all things considered, is the uncommon object of my love.

My time is short. I have got to unbreast whatever I have to say, without caring if it smarts some or irritates others. Therefore, my dear Mary, do not be frightened at whatever drops from my lips, for the power behind me is not Vivekananda but He the Lord, and He knows best. If I have to please the world, that will be injuring the world; the voice of the majority is wrong, seeing that they govern and make the sad state of the world. Every new thought must create opposition — in the civilized a polite sneer, in the vulgar savage howls and filthy scandals.

Indeed, even these worms must stand erect, even youngsters must see light. The Americans are drunk with new wine. A hundred floods of success have gone back and forth over my nation We have learned the lesson which no child can yet understand. It is vanity. This hideous world is Maya. Renounce and be happy. Give up the idea of sex and possessions. There is no other bond. Marriage and sex and cash are the main living fallen angels earthly love proceeds from the body. No sex, no assets; as these tumble off, the eyes open to otherworldly visionThe soul regains its own infinite power.

Come, be men! Kick out the ministers who are dependably against advancement, since they could never patch, their hearts could never turn out to be huge. They are the posterity of hundreds of years of superstition and oppression. Root out brotherhood first. Come, be men! Leave your limited openings and see abroad. Perceive how countries are on the walk! Do you cherish man? Do you adore your nation? At that point come, let us battle for higher and better things; look not back, actually no, not regardless of whether you see the dearest and closest cry. Look not back, however forward!… India needs the penance of somewhere around a thousand of her young fellows – men, mind, and not animals…

“Praying to Sri Guru Maharaj to increase your hankering to know Him and to have a pure and holy life…We are all human; temptations and bad thoughts come. Shall we have to weep for them? Let them come, we shall have to pray with double the energy to the Lord. They come, as it is the will of the Lord; and when it will be His will again, they won’t come. Know you to be his children-so you cannot be impure and unholy. Knowing this pray to Him. Never indulge in these bad thoughts and evil deeds. Throw them away as soon as they come.

1)“Karma alone is responsible for our misery and enjoyment. The result of karma is inevitable. But by repeating the name of God, you can lessen its intensity. If you were prescription have a wound as wide as a plowshare, you will get a pinprick at least. The effect of Karma can be counteracted to a great extent by Japa and hardness.

(page.133, The Gospel of the Holy Mother, from Holy Mother’s conversation on 7 July 1912)

2)“Pray to Sri Guru Maharaj wherever you be; only through his grace you can gain peace; you need not travel here and there. Do not give up work; try to combine it with prayer and meditation. Idleness in the name of meditation and Japam, I do not like. For your salvation, cannot you depend on Him? How can you become Him unless you surrender yourself entirely to Him? What work you do is equally efficacious as the Japam and meditation.”

“You will be pleased to know that I am also learning my lessons every day in patience and, above all, in sympathy… I think I am slowly approaching to that state when I ought to have the capacity to cherish the very “Fallen angel” himself if there were any.

At twenty years old, I was the most unsympathetic, solid fan; I would not stroll on the pathway on the auditorium side of the lanes in Calcutta. At thirty – three, I can live in a similar house with whores and never would consider saying an expression of rebuke to them. Is it degenerate? Or on the other hand, is it that I am widening out into the Universal Love which is simply the Lord? Again I have heard that if one does not see the evil around him he cannot do good work — he lapses into a sort of fatalism. I do not see that. On the other hand, my power of work is immensely increasing and becoming immensely efficient. Some days I get into a sort of ecstasy. I feel that I must bless everyone, everything, love and embrace everything, and I do see that evil is a delusion… I bless the day I was born. I have had such an extensive amount consideration and love here, and that Love Infinite that brought me into being has watched all of my activities, fortunate or unfortunate (don’t be frightened), for what am I, what was I ever, but a tool in His hands, for whose service I have given up everything, my beloved ones, my joys, my life? He is my lively sweetheart, I am His playfellow. There is no plausible explanation known to man! What reason binds Him? He the playful one is playing these tears and laughter over all parts of the play! Great fun, great fun, as Joe says.

It is a Facetious world, and the funniest chap you ever saw is He — the Beloved Infinite! Fun, is it not? Brotherhood or playmatehood — a school of romping children let out to play in this playground of the world! Isn’t it? which to praise, whom to blame, it is all His play. They want explanations, but how can you explain Him? He is brainless, nor has He any reason. He is fooling us with little brains and reason, but this time He won’t find me napping.

I have learned a thing or two: Beyond, beyond reason and learning and talking is the feeling, the “Love”, the “Beloved”. Ay, sake, fill up the cup and we will be berserk.

Yours ever in madness, Vivekananda

“Continue remembering the Master as you are doing now. Try to keep yourself busy worshipping him, repeating his name, meditating on him, reading books about him, and so on. He will surely be gracious enough to grant you peace of mind. Pray to him like a child, and pray with greater fervor, asking for love, devotion, and faith. If you pray with great yearning, he will surely respond…With this belief in your mind, worship the Master, repeat his name, and meditate on him. Continue with this and you will get peace of mind”
