DEAR SHASHI (RAMAKRISHNANANDA),
. . . This City of London is a sea of human heads � ten or fifteen Calcuttas put together. One is apt to be lost in the mazes unless he arranges for somebody to meet him on arrival. . . . However, let Kali start at once. If he be late in starting like Sharat, better let no one come. It won't do to loiter and procrastinate like that. It is a task that requires the height of Rajas (activity). . . . Our whole country is steeped in Tamas, and nothing but that. We want Rajas first, and Sattva will come afterwards � a thing far, far removed.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
