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.
They alone live whose lives are in the whole universe, and the more we concentrate our lives on limited things, the faster we go towards death. Those moments alone we live when our lives are in the universe, in others; and living this little life is death, simply death, and that is why the fear of death comes.
