AUNTPUR,*
7th February, 1889.

DEAR M-,

Thanks a hundred thousand times, Master! You have hit Ramakrishna in the right point.

Few, alas, few understand him! 

Yours,

VIVEKANANDA.

PS. My heart leaps with joy - and it is a wonder that I do not go mad when I find anybody thoroughly launched into the midst of the doctrine which is to shower peace on earth hereafter.
