CONNECTING ACROSS CONTINENTS
A vast movement has to be built up where Thakur-Ma-Swamiji's devotees the world over must participate as co-pilgrims in this holy cause. The Holy Trinity did not merely come for the salvation of India but they came for the salvation of the whole world with India as the spiritual nucleus of their mission. And this we must never forget as we expand in the spirit to embrace our spiritual sisters and brothers across the world.
We must feel a deep sense of kinship for all those who love Thakur-Ma-Swamiji and the entire entourage of their immediate and future disciples and devotees. We must shed all inhibition as we connect with our kith and kin, our cousins across the globe. These devotees form the fabric of the Master's movement and they must all be brought together into a single focus forged in love so that a mighty current of spirituality inundates the world as Swamiji had prophesied. It is our holy vocation to help bring about this solidarity of the movement through our own spiritual expansion that feels for all and reaches out to these distant sisters and brothers of ours. Upon our attitude depends everything.
I am convinced that, if we care to reach out to these, we will get a favourable response, and this shall be the future foundation of our enduring work for the Master's movement, his mission, the Ramakrishna Mission.
