WITH REPEATED SALUTATIONS WE INVITE THE WHOLE WORLD TO PARTICIPATE IN DRINKING THE NECTOR


This indeed is theism which we, the servants of Shri Ramakrishna, will choose.
"Giving up the attachment for the world and drinking constantly the supreme nectar of immortality, for ever discarding that self-seeking spirit which is the mother of all dissension, and ever meditating on the blessed feet of our Guru which are the embodiment of all well-being, with repeated salutations we invite the whole world to participate in drinking the nectar.

CALL HIM A MAN, OR GOD OR AN INCARNATION, JUST AS YOU PLEASE - ACCEPT HIM EACH IN YOUR OWN LIGHT


Remember these few points:

1. We are Sannyasins, who have given up everything — Bhakti, and Mukti, and enjoyment, and all.

2. To do the highest good to the world, everyone down to the lowest — this is our vow. Welcome Mukti or hell, whichever comes of it.

3. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa came for the good of the world. Call him a man, or God, or an Incarnation, just as you please. Accept him each in your own light.
