DEAR — ,

… Can anything be done unless everybody exerts himself to his utmost? “उद्योगिनं पुरुषसिंहमुपैति लक्ष्मी:” etc.—“It is the man of action, the lion-heart, that the Goddess of Wealth resorts to.” No need of looking behind. FORWARD! We want infinite energy, infinite zeal, infinite courage, and infinite patience, then only will great things be achieved. …

Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
