The life of Shri Ramakrishna was an extraordinary searchlight under whose illumination one is able to really understand the whole scope of Hindu religion. He was the object-lesson of all the theoretical knowledge given in the Shastras (scriptures).
He showed by his life what the Rishis and Avataras really wanted to teach. The books were theories, he was the realisation.
This man had in fifty-one years lived the five thousand years of national spiritual life and so raised himself to be an object-lesson for future generations.
- Swami Vivekananda,
in a Letter to Alasinga Perumal from US
(November 1894)
