HARMONY WITH UNTRUTH ?
Ramakrishna Mission keeps on preaching religious harmony. But harmony is as yet a far cry off for it is theoretically and, hence, practically impossible to harmonise Islam and Christianity which reject Hinduism as false with Hinduism which in a strange and gullible way accepts them as true. That the Mission deliberately cherry-picks quotations from Swamiji's Works to highlight this supposed harmony while assiduously avoiding the limelight on those passages of his that categorically denounce Islamic intolerance is proof of the Mission's organisational imperatives and limitations thereof in not upholding the truth and nothing but the truth in all its naked wholeness. No wonder Hindus yet live under a powerful self-destructive delusion about Islamic good intent towards Hinduism and the Hindus. May my life's work be to uphold the whole truth of Swamiji's affirmations about truth temporal and truth transcendental in so far as my abilities allow me to do the same ! But I shall certainly not dilute or deflect the truth of Swamiji's powerful assertions in regard to the aforesaid subject for that in truth would be blasphemous. May Swamiji guide my steps ! Satyameva Jayatey !
