MY MASTER j.k. sivan
Swami Vivekananda spoke about his Master Bagavan Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa in Newyork.nearly two hundred years ago. His speech is summarised for you to enjoy in small parts -- J.K.Sivan
‘’Whenever virtue subsides and vice prevails, I come down to help mankind," - declares Krishna, in the Gita. Whenever this world of ours, on account of growth, on account of added circumstances
requires a new adjustment, a wave of power comes, and as man is acting on two planes, the spiritual and the material, waves of adjustment come on both planes. On the one side, of adjustment on the material plane, Europe has mainly been the basis during modern times, and of the adjustment on the other, the spiritual plane,Asia 'has been the basis throughout the history of the world. To-day, man requires one more adjustment on the spiritual plane; to-day, when material ideas are at the height of their glory and power; to-day, when man is likely to forget his divine nature, through his growing dependence on matter, and is likely to be reduced to a mere money-making machine, an adjustment is necessary, and the power is coming, the voice has spoken, to drive away the clouds of gathering materialism. The power has been set in motion which, at no distant date,will bring unto mankind once more the memory of their real nature, and again the place from which this power will start will be Asia.
This world of ours is based on division of labor. No one shall possess everything. Yet how childish we are !
