Victory to God!
BARANAGORE,
4th Feb., 1889.
DEAR SIR,
For some reason I had been feeling today agitated and
cramped in my mind, when your letter of invitation to the heavenly city of
Varanasi reached me. I accept it as the call of Vishveshvara. (The Lord of the Universe, or Shiva, as installed in
the leading temple of Varanasi or Kashi.) I am going now on a pilgrimage
to the place of my Master's nativity, and after a sojourn of a few days there,
I shall present myself to you. He must be made of stone whose mind does not
melt at the sigh of Kashi and its Lord! I feel now much improved in health. My
regards to Jnanananda. I am coming as soon as I can. It all depends ultimately
on Vishveshvara's will . . . . More when we meet.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
