A LETTER TO AN IDEALISTIC YOUTH

A LETTER TO AN IDEALISTIC YOUTH

Dear Subhrajyoti Bhowmick,

Reading Ramakrishna is for sure the prerequisite but realisation must follow as its natural sequel, although, here one must revolt against the shackles that Nature Herself has imposed. The aspirants of the day must not merely develop into devotees of a debilitated kind who are content to seek personal satisfaction and a compromised peace with truth fashioned to suit their reformed vanities of life -- for Maya simply will not let go easily the fool from Her bonds -- but must ignite into volcanic souls whose flowing lava of articulate word and action will metamorphose society unto a higher order. In such a perfected harmony between personal salvation (not in the Christian sense) and collective spiritual evolution effected lies the future of the propagated Word of the Rishis we so adoringly call the Veda but care not to preach its realised life-giving message.

With best wishes for future fulfilment and nurturing hopes of your ignited awakening,

I remain forever yours in Ramakrishna-Vivekananda,

Sugata Bose
