Though violence has been a scar on the human consciousness from time immemorial, never has it assumed such scale, shape, and dimensions as in this age. It is only when a man is spiritually impoverished and is cut off from the source of his being — which is full of peace, love, and joy — that he becomes violent and cruel. In a relative perspective, to advocate non-violence means to help people grow spiritually.Sri Ramakrishna has special role to play in this context. Having practiced the spiritual disciplines laid down in major world religions, he himself became a living example of the spiritual unity of mankind and of Godhood. This book is aimed at understanding the role of Sri Ramakrishna in preventing and curing humanity of the disease of violence.
No one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a person's character.
