致萨拉达难陀（Swami Saradananda）法师
礼敬薄伽梵罗摩克里希纳（Bhagavan Ramakrishna）
加尔各答
阿沙荼月三十二日〔1890年7月15日〕
亲爱的沙拉特：
得悉桑亚尔（Vaikunthanath Sanyal）的习性尚未坚定，心中甚为遗憾；梵行之事又当如何？我实不明白你的用意。若情况果真如此，对你们二人而言，最为妥当之事便是下山来此居住。穆辛德拉·慕克吉（Mohindra Mukherjee）的遗孀正竭尽心力，欲为你们修建一座道场（Math）；苏伦德拉纳特·密特拉（Surendranath Mitra）另捐千金，想必你们不久便能在河畔觅得一处美地。至于山上诸般艰辛，我自有己见，暂且按下不表。
我本无意下山，只因巴拉兰·博斯（Balaram Bose）辞世，方才顺道一探，旋即欲返。若山中环境果真恶劣，别处安身之地多的是；我不过离开孟加拉罢了。此处不宜，自有彼处相迎。此乃我之决意。诸君皆盼你早日归来，且观你来信，可知留在那里对你实有害处。故望你尽早启程南下。此信未至之前，我已将离此地；只是我不打算去阿尔莫拉。我对未来另有安排，暂列秘密，不便相告。
至于桑亚尔，我实不知自己能对他有何裨益。当然，你对此间圣贤之交（Sanga）自可持己见。我能寻得风光秀美（Sudrishya）、托钵有处（Subhiksha）之所，已属足够。同道之交于我而言，并非紧要——或者说，我以为根本无此必要。
你的，
纳伦德拉（Narendra）

To Swami Saradananda
Salutation to Bhagavan Ramakrishna
CALCUTTA
32 ASHADHA [JULY 15, 1890]
MY DEAR SHARAT
I am sorry to learn that [Vaikunthanath] Sanyal's habits are as yet not Pucca [firm]; and what about Brahmacharya? I don't understand you. If so, the best thing for you both is to come down and live here. The widow of Mohindra Mukherjee is trying head and heart to erect a Math for you, and Surendranath Mitra has left another thousand so that you are very likely soon to get a beautiful place on the river. As for all the hardships up there, I reserve my own opinions.
It was not at all my intention to come down, only the death of Balaram Bose had made me have a peep here and go back. If the mountains be so bad, there is more than enough place for me; only I leave Bengal. If one does not suit, another will. So that is my determination. Everyone here will be so glad at your return here, and from your letter I see it would be downright injurious to you if you didn't come down. So come down at your earliest opportunity. I will leave this place before this letter reaches you; only I won't go to Almora. I have my own plans for the future and they shall be a secret.
As for Sanyal, I do not see how I can benefit him. Of course, you are at liberty to hold your own opinion about the Sanga [holy company] here. That I can find places Sudrishya [having scenic beauty] and Subhiksha [where alms are available] is enough. Sanga is not much, or, I think, not at all necessary for me.
Yours, etc.,
NARENDRA.
