When people met Sri Ramakrishna for the first time, he responded to them in different ways, according to their inner nature. This carefully researched book gives us a glimpse of the meetings as well as the events in people's lives that led up to the meetings.
Work unto death -- I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes -- wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better, to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth, than to die like a worldly worm. Advance!
-Swami Vivekananda
