ARE WE FORGETTING SRI RAMAKRISHNA AND HIS MISSION ON EARTH ? HAVE WE STARTED SELLING HIM AFTER ALL ?

ARE WE FORGETTING SRI RAMAKRISHNA AND HIS MISSION ON EARTH ? HAVE WE STARTED SELLING HIM AFTER ALL ?

Amidst the terrible degeneracy of the times there is work to do. Character, which is missing even among many a monastic, must be reaffirmed in full blaze. Else, our highest spiritual tradition will fall into disarray at the hands of its current guardians who seem to have lost their moorings in the spiritual life. Propagation of spirituality has now become a commercial cause that has a million lame supporters who, in offering such sustenance in decadence, do grave damage to monastics and their mother organisation. Sycophancy is not devotion. It is rather its antithesis. Those who today blindly support decadent commercialisation of what is being passed off as spiritual culture, do such proponents of perverse piety grave harm. Devotees, be discriminating enough to see that the Master's Mission does not go the wrong way as it in places seems eminently headed for. This is a charge all of you must be spontaneously willing to bear.
