From Epistles-Second Series of Volume 6 of The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

LXXX

READING, ENGLAND,

24th Sept. 1895

DEAR MRS. BULL,

I have not done any visible work as yet except helping Mr. Sturdy in studying Sanskrit. … Mr. Sturdy wants me to bring over a monk from India from amongst my brethren to help him when I am away in America. I have written to India for one. . . . So far it is all right. I am waiting for the next wave. “Avoid not and seek not — wait for what the Lord sends”, is my motto. . . . I am a slow writer, but the heart is full of gratitude.

Yours with best wishes,

VIVEKANANDA.
