Today is Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa's day of immortality. On this day 16th Aug 1886, he gave up His mortal coil and merged into Immortality.
Here are some exerts from Swami Vivekananda's letters to His Gurubhais.
Always remember that Shri Ramakrishna came for the good of the world — not for name or fame.
Spread only what he came to teach. Never mind his flame — it will spread of itself.
Directly you insist on everybody's accepting your Guru, you will be creating a sect, and everything will fall to the ground — so beware!
Ask Akshaya (the writer of Sri Ramakrishna Punthi) to write these few points in the third section of his book, "The Propagation of the Faith".
1. Whatever the Vedas, the Vedanta, and all other Incarnations have done in the past, Shri Ramakrishna lived to practice in the course of a single life.
2. One cannot understand the Vedas, the Vedanta, the Incarnations, and so forth, without understanding his life. For he was the explanation.
3. From the very date that he was born, has sprung the Satya-Yuga (Golden Age). Henceforth there is an end to all sorts of distinctions, and everyone down to the Chandâla will be a sharer in the Divine Love. The distinction between man and woman, between the rich and the poor, the literate and illiterate, Brahmins and Chandalas — he lived to root out all. And he was the harbinger of Peace — the separation between Hindus and Mohammedans, between Hindus and Christians, all are now things of the past. That fight about distinctions that there was, belonged to another era. In this Satya-Yuga the tidal wave of Shri Ramakrishna's Love has unified all.
Whoever — man or woman — will worship Shri Ramakrishna, be he or she ever so low, will be then and there converted into the very highest. Another thing, the Motherhood of God is prominent in this Incarnation..... Whoever will worship him only with devotion shall be blessed for ever.
