is bondage, that of non-differentiation is Mukti. Let not the words of people dead-drunk with worldliness terrify you. "{Sanskrit}-Be fearless" "Ignore the ordinary critics as worms!" Admit boys of all religions-Hindu, Mohammedan, Christian, or anything; but begin rather gently-I mean, see that they get their food and drink a little separately, and teach them only the universal side of religion.
Be mad over this, and strike others with this madness! This life has no other end. Preach His name, let His teachings penetrate the world to the very bone. Never forget. Repeat this Mantra in your heart of hearts unceasingly, as you go the round of your daily duties.
Yours,

This Address is to be sent to the Raja of Khetri. Have it printed in gilt etc. The Raja is expected at Bombay about the 21st or 22nd of October. None of us is staying at Bombay at present-if there be any, send him a copy so that he may present the same to the Raja even on Board the ship, or somewhere in the city of Bombay. Send the superior copy to Khetri. Have this passed in a meeting and if any change is needed, no harm.
