শ্রীশ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ কথামৃত [ভাগ-৪] [সংস্করণ-৭] | Sri Sri Ramkrishna Kathamrita [Pt. 4] [Ed. 7]

but add in a loud voice that Kathamrita has beea my very existence during my protracted illness for the last three years. #« « « You deserve the gratitude of the whole human race to the end of days.” Swamy Ramkrishnananda ( Sasi Maharaj ), To ‘M’ In a letter dated 27th Oct. 1904, says :— * # “You have left whole humanity in debt by publishing these invaluable pages fraught with the best wisdom of the greatest Avatar of God.”’ Mr. N. Ghosh To ‘M’ :— In the Indian Nation dated 19th May, 1902, says :— Ramakrishna Kathamrita by M., (Part I.) is a work of sin- gular value an: interest. He has done a kind of work which no Bengalee had ever done before, which so far as we are aware, no native of India had ever done. It has been done only once in history namely by Boswell. But then the immortal biography is only the life of a scholar and akindhearted man. This Kathamrita, on the other hand, is the record of the sayings of a saint. What is the wit or even the wordly wisdom of the great Doctor by the side of the Divine teachings of a genuine devotee ? Its value is immense. We say nothing of the sayings themselves—for the character of the Teacher and teaching is well-known. They take us straight to the truth and not through any metaphysical maze. Their style is Biblical in simplicity. What a treasure would it have been to the world if all the sayings of Sree-Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Nanak and Chaitanya could have been thus preserved. lle/©
