Swami #Vivekananda on new starting of work ============================ Were you not going to start a paper or something of that sort, what about that? We must mix with all, and alienate none. All the powers of good against all the powers of evil — this is what we want. Do not insist upon everybodys believing in our Guru. . . . You shall have to edit a magazine, half Bengali and half Hindi — and if possible, another in English . . . . It wont do to be roaming aimlessly. Wherever you go, you must start a permanent preaching centre. Then only will people begin to change. I am writing a book. As soon as it is finished, I run for home! . . . Always remember that Shri Ramakrishna came for the good of the world — not for name or fame. Spread only what he came to teach. Never mind his flame — it will spread of itself. Directly you insist on everybodys accepting your Guru, you will be creating a sect, and everything will fall to the ground — so beware! Have a kind word for all — it spoils work to show temper. Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, Have faith in this fellow or that fellow, but I say, Have faith in yourself first, thats the way. Have faith in yourself — all power is in you — be conscious and bring it out. Say, I can do everything. Even the poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it. Beware! No saying nay, no negative thoughts! Say, Yea, Yea, Soham, Soham — I am He! I am He! NEW YORK 25th September, 1894. (Meant for his brother-disciples.)
