RIDGELY.
1st Nov., 1899.
DEAR MARGOT, (Margaret E. Noble or Sister Nivedita)
. . . It seems there is a gloom over your mind. Never mind, nothing
is to last for ever. Anyhow life is not eternal. I am so, so thankful for it.
Suffering is the lot of the world's best and bravest — yet, for aeons yet —
till things are righted; if possible, here — at least it is a discipline which
breaks the dream. In my sane moments I rejoice for my sufferings. Some one must
suffer here; — I am glad it is I, amongst others of nature's sacrifices.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
