2. The will of Vishweshwara, the Lord of the universe, will prevail

(Translated from Bengali)

BARANAGORE,
22nd February, 1889.

DEAR SIR,

I had intended to go to Varanasi, and I planned to reach there after visiting the birthplace of my Master. But unluckily on the way to that village I had an attack of high fever followed by vomiting and purging as in cholera. There was again fever after three or four days—and as the body is now so weak that I can barely walk even two steps, I have been compelled now to give up my previous intention. I do not know what is God’s will, but my body is quite unfit for treading on this path. Anyway, the body is not everything. Recovering my health after a few days here, I entertain the hope of visiting you there. The will of Vishweshwara, the Lord of the universe, will prevail—whatever that may be. You also kindly bless me. My respects to you and brother Jnānānanda.

Your servant.,
VIVEKANANDA.
