‘Sri Sri Ramakrishna Leelaprasanga’, the most authentic biography of Sri Ramakrishna, written by his disciple Swami Saradananda. Translated to Gujarati
The human soul has sojourned in lower and higher forms, migrating from one to another according to the samskaras or impressions, but it is only in the highest form as a human being that it attains to freedom.
-Swami Vivekananda
