Ramakrishna is like the air, hard to contain He is the breath of life itself. Will he not quit the citadels of commerce? Or will he for a change now oversee profit and loss like a divine accountant?
The signs are clear and the symptoms ominous. Will commerce corrupt clarity of spiritual conception and reduce goodwill to ruins? Will a few pieces of shiny silver betray the course of evolutionary correction? Will Judas have his way after all, capitalism win over the dictates of the Divine?
Organisation -- will it alter course and meander into a fading memory of old times when the spirit was green though the means were scarce? Or are we witnessing a rapid decline which, by way of awakening an equal reaction along with added evolutionary impetus, will usher in a steeper incline in the years to come? Possible but hard to envisage in all truth from the signs that betoken a rot that needs immediate cleansing. Will good sense prevail or will arrogance erode the hour that yet offers the chance of a revival along the lines set by the founder?
Oh laity, stop weakening the organisation further by pandering to the vanities of those who are ruining the grand tradition built by countless hours of labour and love, stop rushing in the rot further ! It is your strength that the Master demands of you today. Shall you fail? Return to Ramakrishna.
