186. May the Swan (the Supreme Self) send us that.
102 E. 58TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
24th July, 1900.
DEAR JOE,
The sun=Knowledge. The stormy water=Work. The lotus=Love. The serpent=Yoga. The swan=the Self. The Motto=May the Swan (the Supreme Self) send us that. It is the mind-lake [1] . How do you like it? May the Swan fill you with all these anyway.
ⓘ[1] This explains the design on the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission seal, printed on the title page of this volume—Ed.
I am to start on Thursday next, by the French steamer La Champagne. The books are in the hands of Waldo and Whitmarsh. They are nearly ready.
I am well, getting better—and all right till I see you next week.
Ever yours in the Lord,
VIVEKANANDA.
