Self - Scholar

In a mood of weariness the Swami wrote to a friend on June 3, 1897:

"As for myself, I am quite content. I have roused a good many of our people, and that was all I wanted. Let things have their course and karma it's sway. I have no bonds here below. I have seen life, and it is all self-life is for self,  love is for self,  honour for self, everything for self.  I look back and scarcely find any action I have done for self - even my wicked deeds were not for self. So I am content - not that I feel I have done anything especially good or great,  but the world is so little,  life so mean a thing,  existence so,  so servile,  that I wonder and smile that human beings,  rational souls,  should be running after this self - so mean and detestable a prize.
This is truth. We are caught in a trap,  and the sooner one gets out the better for one. I have seen the truth - let the body float up or down, who cares?........

I was born for the life of a scholar - retired, quiet,  pouring over my books. But the Mother dispensed otherwise.  Yet the tendency is there. "
