GHAZIPUR,
4th Feb., 1890.
DEAR SIR,
Received your kind note, and through supreme good fortune, I have obtained an interview with Bābāji. A great sage indeed!—It is all very wonderful, and in this atheistic age, a towering representation of marvelous power born of Bhakti and Yoga! I have sought refuge in his grace; and he has given me hope—a thing very few may be fortunate enough to obtain. It is Bābāji’s wish that I stay on for some days here, and he would do me some good. So following this saint’s bidding I shall remain here for some time. No doubt, this will give you also much pleasure. I don’t mention them in a letter, but the facts are very strange indeed—to be disclosed when we meet. Unless one is face to face with the life of such men, faith in the scriptures does not grow in all its real integrity.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
