1. It is difficult to believe in the historicity of Christ. No definite proof is there.
6. He is the master of His mansion. Have we forgotten Him and claimed His house as our own?
7. Man has dressed up the world as he pleased and changed its very features. Such cosmetic surgery has made the world breathless.
8. The light whether it is internal or external matters not so long as it is light. This light is the stream of God's grace.
9. The Bible has been thus far much misinterpreted. It needs a fresh understanding in Indian light.
10. Jesus was of a higher dimension, a higher order, a higher altitude of spiritual reality than his countrymen. They sacrificed him !
11. The problem with prophets is that their disciples misrepresent them in the long run owing to secondary limitations.
12. God is above sect, yet, sects abound round him that divide the mansion of man.
13. In a la Biblical manner we can say we have all been sent unto earth to rid us of our imperfections. And we are our own prophets.
14. There is but one religion as there is but one science. Human misapprehensions divide and fragment the house of God.
15. Europe has had to rise through terrible superstition thrust on it by Christianity. Greek civilisation was darkened by the shroud.
17. Mass indoctrination can be terrible for it prepares the masses for violent action on the appointed day. A riot of colours then issues in flowing blood.
18. How many of you have read Nicolas Notovitch's book, 'The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ'? Did he visit India? Did he survive crucifixion? Did he live and die in Kashmir?
19. The Bodhi Tree and the Vivekananda Rock are the sites of spiritual enlightenment and insight of Indian sages from the ancient world to the modern. Symbols, they hold the mind of man !
20. Does science require a prophet or a messiah to substantiate its principles, to lend power or validity to them? Yet, religion holds humanity in its grip. Why?
21. Is religion to be rejected because it has no external evidence to offer that can justify its stupendous claims of God and enlightenment, heaven and hell, sin and salvation?
22. Vivekananda's message is so clear and simple, free of all ambiguity, yet full of the profoundest depths of philosophy.
23. Ambiguity has been resorted to both in the Bible and in the Quran to lend poetry and depth to the message what in simple terms is simply not there.
24. Earth we know is located on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. But where is heaven located and where is hell? Are they super-physical spatial realms beyond the universe? Or are they located purely in the mind in human fear of the extinction of life?
25. Man worships God, not knowing he forever worships his Self, his own mind addressing itself while holding on to external symbols.
26. Do not in your vanity of possessing superior scriptural knowledge forget that the core of religion in its social aspect consists in the practice of love and service.
27. In the Ramakrishna Movement we have to be vigilant that we do not move away from the original and essential message of the Master.
28. I adore the whole of humanity for it is that to what I belong. Since remotest antiquity humanity has been an integrated whole despite apparent segmentation.
29. There is a need to harmonise relations across the community spectrum in a world increasingly fractured by narrow revivalism.
30. We have to work to save our planet, and one wonders, just how? So segregated is human thinking, so fractured our vision.
31. Mother Mary is as pure as purity itself. The only other one of such immaculate purity I can think of is our Mother Sarada Devi. And there are others like Meera Bai as well. But paucity of coloured space prevents their inclusion in the post proper.
32. Sri Ramakrishna considered Jesus Christ as a divine incarnation after having had his profound experience of the Messiah.
34. Civilisation consists not merely in acquisition of knowledge but in expansion of the soul, in the refinement of the spirit.
36. গৃহীমাত্রেই দ্বৈতবাদী । অদ্বৈতের ভেরী বাজালে কি হবে ?
37. Mortal is the body. Fame, however long-lasting, is mortal too. The Spirit alone abides immortal for it is never born and cannot in consequence die.
38. Please visit my page and give a 'like' to it to increase its support base for the better propagation of my message.
39. Buddhism spread through the world by the imperial power of Ashok. Christianity did so by that of Constantine. How will the Ramakrishna Mission spread?
40. Name and form are superstitions.Yet the constant hypnosis of name and form all around us thrusts the burden of its ignorance on our impressionable souls, hiding from us our true selves and keeping us in 'servile fearfulness' of the elements of Nature.
41. May Mother shower Her blessings on all my sisters and brothers across vast humanity without bounds !
42. Conversion stands in the way of inter-faith harmony. If this urgency to grow in numbers goes in proselytising religions, there will arise mutual trust among religions and peace will prevail.
43. Our men and women both must stop this constant persecution of each other. A civilised polity demands this. Freedom is civility.
44. By insulting another you reduce your own life-span and that of the other. Honour others to live long and healthy.
45. Our country is divided into tiny warring units where each ugly infighting has to be won to the slave's delight. How can freedom be?
46. Ultimately, I am my only reader. I write as I read and I read what I write.
47. Countless martyrs have been to the motherland to achieve her freedom and to keep it secure. We must remember them in our prayers.
48. Netaji and his INA were battling in Burma against the British Indian forces for which Sam Manekshaw fought. Strange, is it not?
49. We have to spread like wildfire the message of the Rishis across the world. For this we need a handful of valorous souls, utterly fearless and strong.
50. Swami Brahmananda, the first President of the Ramakrishna Order. He served as helmsman for the longest period in the history of the Order from 1897 to 1922.
51. RKM monks must flood YouTube with videos. That is a very effective way of propagating the Sanatan Dharma.
52. Netaji and his INA were battling in Burma against the British Indian forces for which Sam Manekshaw fought. Strange, is it not?
53. Countless martyrs have been to the motherland to achieve her freedom and to keep it secure. We must remember them in our prayers.
54. Swami Vivekananda, the General President of the Ramakrishna Mission Association formed on 1 May, 1897 at Balaram Bose's residence.
55. Pronunciation must be good and so must diction be. Else, you mar your delivery and mess up your audience.
56. By lowering one's status and cheapening one's stance one hardly serves Hinduism. The Mother's work calls for heroes, neither cowering cowards nor ranting rogues.
57. There are some who simply wait on to pick faults in posts. They ignore all that is good and are mere fault-finders. Glory unto them, these chosen children of the Lord !
58. Atman = Brahman. The water in the pot is the water in the sea and is the very sea. This very point is the vast universe. Truth transcends though. These illustrations are mere hints to apprehend the Truth that lies beyond.
59. The world you see is none other than the Atman in apparent fracturing from its undivided state unto its prismatic dispersion.
60. 'Upanishad' means approximation unto identity with the Absolute Truth [Brahman].
61. A sense of superiority or a sense of inferiority both arise from a shift from the golden mean where Truth resides.
62. India loves the personality cult. So, perhaps, she is not yet ready for the Vedanta which has been her discovery in ancient times.
63. Is the concept of an omnipotent God presiding over human affairs a feudal concept and is the Vedantic idea of the sovereignty of each individual soul the democratic one?
64. Take the name 'Ramakrishna' and be free.
65. Whoever had hit upon the idea of image worship in India must have been the most marvellous psychologist cum mass communicator.
66. From morning till night it is image worship that goes on in Facebook. How wonderful that all the messages go in vain !
67. May fetters fall from human feet and men live free in peace !
68. The smaller the limit and the greater the stretch of concentration, the more powerful the personality of the spiritual man and of the material man, too. The smallness is in spatial focus and the stretch is in extension in time.
69. Ramakrishna = Love
70. Sri Ramakrishna is the Atman/Brahman made manifest in fullest measure by the inscrutable power of Yogamaya.
71. Mother Sarada is the Universal Mother and none else.
72. The main problem we face in inspiring others with the Word of God is that what we speak of we do not live in our lives.
73. Do not hurt others. You will get hurt back in equal measure and may be more.
74. Our country is right now passing through the rough admixture of rajas and tamas. Hence there is so much confusion.
75. We live in a democracy but we are hardly democrats. We carry the feudal mentality as the hangover of our past.
76. The beauty of the Ramakrishna Avatar is that he each time emerged the Guru of his Gurus after completing his study with them.
77. The spiritual person is never narrow. He practises the universal principles he espouses. He has no hatred in his heart.
78. Do not believe if anybody tells you that God does not exist. He exists as you yourself in every phase of your being.
79. Want to see God? Constantly think of Sri Ramakrishna.
80. Intense spirituality can never make a man frivolous while preaching. Frivolity must be renounced as well by the spiritual man.
81. A seat is given you in this universal theatre only if you have bought a ticket of desire.
82. Institutionalising religion creates corruption. We have to be vigilant this time. Who was Swami Nirmalananda?
83. Myths make a man greater and often doctrine makes a man smaller. Now reality lies in between.
84. Human civilisation has been built on a mountain of skulls. Human labour has been extracted by imperial masters to adorn what is best in historical beauty. The dead lie at the foundation of all the flourishes of civilisation.
85. Hatred is the result of the infighting of the bodily forces. Meditation leads to their harmony and spontaneous love is its overflow.
86. Do not mock someone's tears. You rob his peace and then mock at him. Is this humanity?
88. Forgiveness is the great spiritual act but forgetfulness the cardinal sin.
90. Who was Swami Nirmalananda - disciple of Sri Ramakrishna or disciple of Swami Vivekananda? Contradictory information is coming to us from diverse sources.
91. Know a person who performs 'miracles' to prove his divinity to be a fraud instead and not a divine incarnation.
92. If you want to be spiritual, shed every superstition, each and every, to which you fondly cling. This is called true renunciation.
93. Stop following crooks who pose as classified Gurus. Follow the sages of ancient India. Of the moderns, follow Ramakrishna.
94. The inability to articulate truth in clearest terms is an act of moral cowardice.
95. Today, devotion to Netaji has been supplanted by hatred of Gandhiji and Pandit Nehru in quite a section of the lay public. Cultural decline is manifest in rather a mean manner.
96. I wonder how many people who criticise Pandit Nehru have read any of the classics written by him.
97. Few follow the drift of my posts. Alas, I am a failure as a writer !
98. প্রতিদিনের নেহরু-বিদ্বেষ দেশের কিছু মানুষের শিক্ষা, সংস্কৃতি ও রুচিগত দৈন্যের পরিচায়ক |
99. Having studied Vivekananda lifelong, I understood half of India. Having done Facebook, I have understood the other half. Now my understanding is complete. Alas, Vivekananda cries in the wilderness ! India has betrayed him.
100. A new day begins, a new battle-formation for the Kurukshetra of Facebook. 😂***😂 Paandavs and Kauravs arrayed. Let's see who wins.
