If you truly wish to be spiritual, read THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA by M. In it are recorded the words of the great spiritual master Sri Ramakrishna, the sage of Dakshineshwar who is widely regarded as the last incarnation of God. The setting of the narrative is gripping and you cannot leave the book without being transformed in your personality for good. Swami Ranganathananda read it in his boyhood and was captivated by it. The story of his life is the impact the GOSPEL had on him. It is on record that the majority of the monks of the Ramakrishna Order were inspired by the GOSPEL to join the Order.
The language is so lucid, the content so ennobling and the narrative so dramatic and life-like that reading becomes easy and a delightful experience. Not only so, the study of the GOSPEL is truly a meditative exercise, only without the effort required to actually meditate. Ramakrishna brings home his own experiences in his own inimitable manner full of insight and rustic humour. The Vedas come to your door-step as you browse through the pages of this book. You are immersed in an ocean of spiritual inspiration as the book gains in ascendancy over you as you advance through it. Imperceptibly you are drawn into its ambit and silently transformed without any struggle or vigorous effort. Thakur carries you from your habitat to your eternal realm and you are immersed in bliss that will never leave you. What more will I say than to remind you that no less a personality than Swami Brahmananda had said, "If anyone reads THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA for 12 years at a stretch, such a one will be blessed with BRAHMAJNAN.''
My only request is that you try it out once and see for yourselves what the magic of the GOSPEL holds for you. Jai Ramakrishna!
