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.
Be strong! ... You talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. None but the brave deserves the fair. None but the bravest deserves salvation.
-Swami Vivekananda
