divine utterances of one of the most advanced of our species October 22, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ramakrishna was an unparalleled spiritual genius. In this venerable "best of" anthology of his sayings, first published by the Ramakrishna Math in Calcutta in the mid-twentieth century,one can find a version of many of the finest reflections and parables found in the definitive and comprehensive Ramakrishna Kathamrita, in a lightweight, ready-to-hand, portable format. What's very helpful is that the text is divided topically and is followed by an extensive index. Also, it's inexpensive - really one of the best book bargains I've ever found. I carried a beat up edition with me for years - among the best remedies for the ennui of waiting in lines, for appointments - and the craziness of this crakerjack box world in general. As for a measure of the depth of Ramakrishna - that, even were it possible to obtain - we would be unable to report.
Best collection of Sri Ramakrishna's divine words February 18, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I just started to read this book. It's a collection of short (some long) paragraphs straight from Sri Ramakrishna's own divine words!
You can simply browse through pages and read whichever one your eyes feel like reading! it's a blessing. I own a very old copy of this book that was printed in Madras, India.
Here is the first one from the first chapter named "Man"; title is "The Destiny of Man"
"You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when
the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no
stars in the heavens during the day? O man, because
you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say
not that there is no God."
Isn't it wonderful?
