Disciple: Do you, may I ask, believe him [Sri Ramakrishna] to be an Avatara (Incarnation of God)?
Swamiji: Tell me first -- what do you mean by an Avatara?
Disciple: Why, I mean one like Shri Ramachandra, Shri Krishna, Shri Gauranga, Buddha, Jesus, and others.
Swamiji: I know Bhagavan Shri Ramakrishna to be even greater than those you have just named.
What to speak of believing, which is a petty thing -- i know!
