RAMAKRISHNA, THE RAY OF HOPE ... 1

Many years later the turbulence that besets our civic life, our national existence and international relations will have been harmonised by the loving grace of Sri Ramakrishna who is the source of all knowledge, all love and all mercy. Human society, as it were, is being prepared for a higher order of evolutionary existence where this temporary turmoil, now having lasted for over a thousand years, will have been quelled and humanity raised and defied to its divine status. It is the evolution of the brute unto man and man unto God -- this is the spiritual process but, alas, at what a cost!

The descent of the Divine in mortal coil as prophesied by the Lord in the Geeta has been fulfilled yet again in the Avatar of Dakshineshwar. The Lord has assumed human form to save humanity. The significance of his descent is difficult to decipher as of now, for the dust of desire and the tumult of modernity emerging from medieval mores has clouded vision even of the analytic man. Seers with penetrative vision can look through the near opacity of the times to behold a harmonic human future emerging out of the old order with Ramakrishna leading the way.
