Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
From: http://www.theindianculture.com/Indyaculture%20saints/Saints%20of%20India.htm
There is no one in the world who has not heard of Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa hardly had any schooling.
How did he become so great ? It is only because of his spiritual
wealth. He is hailed thus by Sri Aurobindo: "In the life of
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa we see a colossal spiritual capacity
first diving straight into the Divine realisation, taking it as
it were the kingdom of heaven by force and seizing upon one yogic
method after another and extracting the substance out of it with
an incredible rapidity always to return to the heart of the whole
matter, the realisation and possession of God by the power of love,
by the extension of inborn spirituality into various experiences
and by spontaneous play of an intuitive knowledge."
He is an exponent and practitioner of the Vedic Maxim - "Ekam
sad vipraah bhaudaah vadanthi." "Truth is one but many
describe it in many ways." He also practiced in daily life
the salient features of Indian culture; "isaavaasyam idam
sarvam", and "Service to humanity is services to divinity."
