Sri Ramakrishna was a living embodiment of Godliness. His sayings are not those of a mere learned man, but are pages from the book of life. Mahendranath Gupta has recorded his sublime utterances with stenographic precision. Therefore they are a beacon light to all who tread the spiritual path, to whichever race or religion they may belong. Even now Sri Ramakrisha is the silent force that is moulding the spiritual destiny of India. This book, the first of its kind, will surely help stricken humanity to come nearer to the Eternal verity of life.
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.
-Swami Vivekananda
