DEAR M [1] —

ⓘ[1] Mahendra Nath Gupta or “Master Mahāshaya”, recorder of Shri Ramakrishna Kathāmrita or the Gospel of Shri Ramakrishna in Bengali,.

C’est bon, mon ami—now you are doing just the thing. Come out, man! No sleeping all life; time is flying. Bravo! That is the way.

Many thanks for your publication. Only, I am afraid it will not pay its way in a pamphlet form. … Never mind, pay or no pay—let it see the blaze of daylight. You will have many blessings on you and many more curses—but that is always the way of the world!

This is the time.

Yours in the Lord,
VIVEKANANDA.
