SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Thought for the Week

The perfect of all instruction, all preparation, ought to be this man - making. In any case, rather than that, we are continually attempting to clean up the outside. What use in cleaning up the outside when there is no inside? The end and point of all preparation are to influence the man to develop. The man who impacts, who tosses his enchantment, so to speak, upon his individual - creatures, is a dynamo of intensity, and when that man is prepared, he can do everything without exception he prefers; that identity put after anything will make it work.
