The story of Sri Ramakrishna is the story of religion in practice.
His life enables us to see God face to face. Sri Ramakrishna
is today regarded as an incarnation of God of the Modern Age.
He was unique in that he practised in turn the spiritual disciplines
of all the sects of Hinduism, and of Christianity and Islam,
and attained God-realization in each one. At the end of it all,
he proclaimed to the world: 'As many faiths, so many paths.'
His realization and proclamation of the fundamental unity of
all religions is a message relevant to our contemporary world,
torn by religious conflicts and dissensions, and separated by
high walls of sectarian dogmas. Here is an incarnation whose
life would harmonize all the apparently contradictory religious
ideals, and the various national and social ideals of different
races and countries, thus uniting humanity by the ties of love
and toleration into a single brotherhood.
