LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA,
24th Jan., 1900.
DEAR MARGOT, (Margaret E. Noble or Sister Nivedita)
I am afraid that the rest and peace I seek for will never
come. But Mother does good to others through me, at least some to my native
land, and it is easier to be reconciled to one's fate as a sacrifice. We are
all sacrifices — each in his own way. The great work is going on — no one can
see its meaning except that it is a great sacrifice. Those that are willing
escape a lot of pain. Those
who resist are broken into submission and suffer
more. I am now determined to be a willing one.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
