Embodiment of Scriptures

... it was no new truth that Ramakrishna Paramahamsa came to preach, though his advent brought the old truths to light. In other words, he was the embodiment of all the past religious thoughts of India. 

His life alone made me understand what the Shastras really meant, and the whole plan and scope of the old Shastras. 

                - Swami Vivekananda, 

                  in a Letter to Swami Ramakrishnananda 

                    from US (1895)
