From Epistles – Third Series of Volume 7 of The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda (Translated from Bengali)
GHAZIPUR,
15th March, 1890.
DEAR ATUL BABU (Atul Chandra Ghosh.),
I am extremely sorry to hear that you are passing through mental afflictions. Please do only what is agreeable to you.
— “While there is birth there is death, and again entering the mother’s womb. This is the manifest evil of transmigration. How, O man, dost thou want satisfaction in such a world!”
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. I am leaving this place tomorrow. Let me see which way destiny leads!
