Swami Brahmananda was Sri Ramakrishna`s spiritual son and the first President of the Ramakrishna Order. This is a compilation of the personal accounts of numerous people who intimately knew Maharaj (as the Swami was reverentially called), and had many occasions to closely observe his daily life and day-to-day dealings. The charm of his unassuming personality and the silent influence of his deep spirituality left a lasting influence on all those who came in touch with him.
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man's head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
