This is the test, he who is Ramakrishna's child does not seek his personal good.
"प्राणात्ययेऽपि परकल्याणचिकीर्षव:-- they wish to do good to others even when at the point of death."
Those that care for their personal comforts and seek a lazy life, who are ready to sacrifice all before their personal whims, are none of us; let them pack off, while yet there is time.
Propagate his character, his teaching, his religion.
This is the only spiritual practice, the only worship, this verily is the means, and this the goal.
Arise! Arise! A tidal wave is coming! Onward!
Men and women, down to the Chandala (Pariah) -- all are pure in his eyes.
Onward! Onward! There is no time to care for name, or fame, or Mukti, or Bhakti!
