Wonderful defence, dear devotee. This is the spirit. Idle speculations in the public domain like the aforesaid comment and the like are not only irresponsible and distasteful but are the result of gross ignorance about the great movement of Thakur-Swamiji to which Maharajji eminently belongs. But as they say, even animosity towards holiness is productive of great good for whosoever one thinks of, one tends to become like him. I invite respected Shree X to make an in-depth study of the Ramakrishna Movement and thoroughly study the lives of the great souls who form the the warp and the woof of the Order before hazarding comments which are profane and suffering from a certain sense of levity about which the great Swami Vivekananda had forewarned in his famous Calcutta address. My respects to all concerned for all are the children of our Mother.
P.S. : The happiness alluded to in the aforesaid comment may be the possession of any who takes the plunge for God in all sincerity with purity and unselfishness as the basis. I invite all in the name of Thakur-Swamiji to feel happy in their name and recollection rather than suffer from uneasiness on finding someone happy. The purity of monks is the simple cause of their happiness and not any pleasure-seeking which it seems is the purport of the aforesaid comment. Be pure and happy, this is a far better stance than to feel superficially critical, albeit, jokingly perhaps, for life is serious business when it comes to realizing its worth which is why we are here. May Mother bless all !
