理性、信仰与爱
【斯瓦米吉在1894年几乎整年都以黑尔家族的住所为大本营，直到其活动重心东移至大西洋沿岸。斯瓦米吉曾在乔治·W·黑尔的信纸上用铅笔匆匆记下了一系列关于理性、信仰和爱的笔记，这些笔记近来才被发现。遗憾的是，手稿的确切日期无法准确确定。】
理性——有其局限——有其根基——
有其退化。围绕它的壁垒——
不可知论。无神论。但不可就此止步
那超越之境每时每刻都在作用于我们、影响着我们——天空、群星都在作用于我们——即便
那些不可见的也是如此。因此必须超越——理性
独力无法前行——有限者无法触及无限
信仰——当其孤立时便会退化——偏执
狂热——宗派主义。愈趋狭隘
有限者因此无法抵达无限
有时在强度上有所增益，却在广度上有所损失——而在偏执者和狂热者那里则变成
对自身骄傲和虚荣的崇拜
难道没有别的道路吗——有的，那就是爱
它从不退化——和平的、柔化的
不断拓展的——宇宙对其扩张而言都太过渺小。
我们无法定义它，只能追溯
它的发展历程并描述其周遭
它起初——犹如引力
之于外部世界——一种趋向合一的倾向
形式与陈规是它的死亡。
通过形式崇拜——方法——仪式
形式——到此为止都不是爱。
当爱来临时，方法便消亡。
人类语言和人类形式将神塑造为父亲、将神塑造为母亲、将神塑造为
爱人——增爱者等。所罗门的雅歌——依赖与独立
爱 爱——
爱那贞洁的妻子——阿努苏亚 悉多——
不是枯燥僵硬的责任，而是常悦常乐的
爱——对悉多的崇拜——
爱的疯狂——神醉之人
罗陀的寓意——被误解
限制越多，增长越多——
情欲是爱的死亡
自我是爱的死亡
从个体到普遍
从具体到抽象——到绝对
那祈祷的穆斯林与少女
同情——卡比尔——
那双手流血的基督徒修女
穆斯林圣者
每个微粒都在寻找自己的补全
当找到时，它便安息了
每个人都在寻找——幸福——与安稳
寻找是真实的，而对象本身
不过是幸福透过对这些对象的追寻
至少片刻地降临于他们。
唯一不变的对象，唯一能补全人类灵魂之品格与
志向的，便是神。
爱是人类灵魂为寻找其
补全、其稳定的平衡、其无限的安息而进行的奋斗。

REASON, FAITH AND LOVE
[Swamiji had made the home of the Hale family his headquarters during almost all of 1894 before the pivot of his activities moved eastward to the Atlantic Coast. It was on George W. Hale's letter paper and thus, presumably, during one of his stays in the latter's home, that Swamiji jotted down in pencil a series of notes on the subjects of reason, faith, and love, which have recently come to light. Unfortunately the date of the manuscript cannot be accurately determined.]
Reason—has its limits—its base—
its degeneration. The walls round it—
Agnosticism. Atheism. But must not stop
The beyond is acting upon influencing us every
moment—the sky the stars acting upon us—even
those not seen. Therefore must go beyond—reason
alone can't go—finite cannot get at the infinite
Faith its degeneration when alone—bigotry
fanaticism—sectarianism. Narrowing
finite therefore cannot get to the infinite
Sometimes gain in intensity but loses in
extensity—and in bigots & fanatics become
worship of his own pride & vanity
Is there no other way—there is Love
it never degenerates—peaceful softening
ever widening—the universe is too small
for its expansiveness.
We cannot define it we can only trace
it through its development and describe its surroundings
It is at first—what the gravitation
is to the external world—a tendency to unification
forms and conventionalities are its death.
Worship through forms—methods—services
forms—up to then no love.
When love comes method dies.
Human language and human forms God as father, God as mother, God as
the lover—Surata-vardhanam etc. Solomon's Song of
Songs—Dependence and independence
Love Love—
Love the chaste wife—Anasuya Sita—
not as hard dry duty but as ever pleasing
love—Sita worship—
The madness of Love—God intoxicated man
The allegory of Radha—misunderstood
The restriction more increase—
Lust is the death of love
Self is the death of love
individual to general
Concrete to abstract—to absolute
The praying Mohammedan and the girl
The Sympathy—Kabir—
The Christian nun from whose hands blood came
The Mohammedan Saint
Every particle seeking its own complement
When it finds that it is at rest
Every man seeking—happiness—& stability
The search is real but the objects are themselves
but happiness is coming to them momentary at least
through the search of these objects.
The only object unchangeable and the only complement of character and
aspirations of the human Soul is God.
Love is struggle of a human Soul to find its
complement its stable equilibrium its infinite rest.
