DAILY READINGS

Selected from Mother Radha's recordings of Swamiji.

Day 916

   

There is no Master born like Sri Ramakrishna in this Yuga [epoch, era, age]. When I say this I am not prejudiced, I am actually telling you out of experience. You must underline this.

Therefore Swami Vivekananda [the spiritual heir of Sri Ramakrishna] said that from the day Sri Ramakrishna was born, the Satya Yuga [Golden Yuga or age] started. Just as there is no peer to Hanumanji [the great devotee of Lord Rama], there is no peer to Sri Ramakrishna.

Other people worship personalities and become fanatics, instead of having Absolute love they have part love. But Universality does not mean that. It means, give Absolute love to the Absolute world.

You must preach the principle of Sri Ramakrishna, whether you accept Sri Ramakrishna as God, as sadhu [holy man or monk], as devotee, or whatever you accept him as. If you accept Sri Ramakrishna as one of these, then know that there may be others who do not accept him in that category.

I am worshipping the principle of Sri Ramakrishna. This does not mean: You must only follow Sri Ramakrishna and you will realise God. Master is the wish-fulfilling tree.
