亲爱的阿拉辛加：
你写信给我，地址只能是芝加哥迪尔伯恩大道541号，切勿寄往其他任何地方。你上一封信在全国各地辗转才送到我手中，这仅仅是因为我已颇为人知。部分决议应连同一封信一并寄给巴罗斯博士，在信中感谢他对我的关爱，并请求他将此信刊登于某些美国报纸——这将是对传教士散布谣言的最有力反驳，因为他们声称我并不代表任何人。学会处事，我的孩子。我们终将成就伟业！去年我只是播下了种子；今年我要收获。与此同时，在印度尽力保持高昂的热情。让基迪走他自己的路，他终究会走上正轨的。我已承担了他的责任。他完全有权持有自己的见解。让他为报纸撰稿；这将使他保持好的状态！我向他致以祝福。
创办这份刊物，我将不时向你们寄去文章。你们必须向哈佛大学、波士顿的J·H·赖特教授寄去一份报纸和一封信，感谢他是第一位支持我的友人，并请求他在报纸上刊登，从而揭穿那些传教士的谎言。
在底特律的演讲中，我获得了900美元，即2700卢比。在其他演讲中，我曾在一次讲演中赚得2500美元，即7500卢比，但实际到手的只有200美元！我被一个无良演讲经纪公司欺骗了。我已与他们断绝往来。我在此花费颇多；大约只剩下3000美元了。
明年我将需要印制大量材料。我正在有条不紊地展开工作……纯粹的意志力将成就一切……你们必须组建一个定期聚会的团体，并尽可能频繁地向我汇报情况。总之，尽力激发起尽可能高昂的热情。只是，务必警惕虚伪。投入工作吧，我的孩子们，热情之火自会向你们涌来！我们民族的天性中完全缺乏组织能力，但这是必须加以培养的。最大的秘诀在于——消除嫉妒。始终准备好接受同胞的意见，并努力加以调和。这便是全部秘诀。勇敢地奋斗！生命短暂！将它献给一项伟大的事业。你为何不写写纳拉辛哈的情况？他几乎已是在挨饿了。我曾给过他一些帮助。后来他去了某处，我不知他身在何方，也没有来信。阿克沙亚是个好孩子，我很喜欢他。与神智学者争论毫无益处。不要将我写给你的一切都去告诉他们……神智学者是我们的先驱，你知道吗？如今贾奇是一位印度教徒，奥尔科特上校是一位佛教徒，而贾奇是此地最有才干的人。现在请告诉那些信奉印度教的神智学者支持贾奇。哪怕你能给贾奇写一封信，感谢他作为同道宗教信仰者以及他为将印度教介绍给美国人所付出的努力；那将使他的内心大受鼓舞。我们不应加入任何宗派，但我们必须对每一个宗派予以同情并与之协作……工作，工作——以你们的爱征服一切！……
努力拓展。记住，生命的唯一标志是运动与成长。你们必须将通过的决议正式寄送给J·H·巴罗斯博士……保罗·卡鲁斯博士……帕尔默参议员……J·J·巴格利夫人……这必须以正式名义送达……我写此信，是因为我认为你们尚不了解外国的礼仪规范……稳步前进。迄今为止，我们已做成了令人惊叹的事情。奋勇向前，勇敢的灵魂们，我们必将胜利！组织起来，创立团体，投入工作，这是唯一的道路。
每年此时，此地的演讲活动并不繁忙；因此我将把精力投入写作。我将全力以赴地工作，待到寒冬来临、人们归回各自家中之时，我将再次开始演讲，同时着手组建各类团体。
我向你们众人送上我的爱与祝福。我从未忘记任何人，尽管我不常写信。况且如今我持续奔波在途，信件不得不从一处转寄至另一处。
勤勉工作。保持圣洁纯净，热情之火自会到来。
你们的，充满情谊的，
辨喜（Vivekananda）。

U. S. A.,
11th July, 1894.
Dear Alasinga,
You must never write to me anywhere else but 541 Dearborn Ave., Chicago. Your last letter has travelled the whole country to come to me, and this was only because I am so well known. Some of the resolutions are to be sent to Dr. Barrows with a letter thanking him for his kindness to me and asking him to publish the letter in some American newspapers — as that would be the best refutation of the false charges of the missionaries that I do not represent anybody. Learn business, my boy. We will do great things yet! Last year I only sowed the seeds; this year I mean to reap. In the meanwhile, keep up as much enthusiasm as possible in India. Let Kidi go his own way. He will come out all right in time. I have taken his responsibility. He has a perfect right to his own opinion. Make him write for the paper; that will keep him in good temper! My blessings on him.
Start the journal and I will send you articles from time to time. You must send a paper and a letter to Professor J. H. Wright of Harvard University, Boston, thanking him as having been the first man who stood as my friend and asking him to publish it in the papers, thus giving the lie to the missionaries.
In the Detroit lecture I got $900, i.e. Rs. 2,700. In other lectures, I earned in one, $2,500, i.e. Rs. 7,500 in one hour, but got only 200 dollars! I was cheated by a roguish Lecture Bureau. I have given them up. I spent a good deal here; only about $3,000 remains.
I shall have to print much matter next year. I am going regularly to work. . . . The sheer power of the will will do everything. . . . You must organise a society which should regularly meet, and write to me about it as often as you can. In fact, get up as much enthusiasm as you can. Only, beware of falsehood. Go to work, my boys, the fire will come to you! The faculty of organisation is entirely absent in our nature, but this has to be infused. The great secret is — absence of jealousy. Be always ready to concede to the opinions of your brethren, and try always to conciliate. That is the whole secret. Fight on bravely! Life is short! Give it up to a great cause. Why do you not write anything about Narasimha? He is almost starving. I gave him something. Then he went over to somewhere, I do not know where, and does not write. Akshaya is a good boy. I like him very much. No use quarrelling with the Theosophists. Do not go and tell them all I write to you. . . . Theosophists are our pioneers, do you know? Now Judge is a Hindu and Col. a Buddhist, and Judge is the ablest man here. Now tell the Hindu Theosophists to support Judge. Even if you can write Judge a letter, thanking him as a co-religionist and for his labours in presenting Hinduism before Americans; that will do his heart much good. We must not join any sect, but we must sympathise and work with each. . . . Work, work — conquer all by your love! . . .
Try to expand. Remember the only sign of life is motion and growth. You must send the passed resolution to Dr. J. H. Barrows. . ., Dr. Paul Carus. . ., Senator Palmer. . ., Mrs. J. J. Bagley. . ., it must come officially. . . . I write this because I do not think you know the ways of foreign nations. . . . Keep on steadily. So far we have done wonderful things. Onward, brave souls, we will gain! Organise and found societies and go to work, that is the only way.
At this time of the year there is not much lecturing to be done here; so I will devote myself to my pen and write. I shall be hard at work all the time, and then, when the cold weather comes and people return to their homes, I shall begin lecturing again and at the same time organise societies.
My love and blessings to you all. I never forget anybody, though I do not write often. Then again, I am now, continuously travelling, and letters have to be redirected from one place to another.
Work hard. Be holy and pure and the fire will come.
Yours affectionately,
Vivekananda.
