The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

Résumé : It's one thing to hear about the greatness of a spiritual teacher, but another to read the actual words spoken of that person so you can form your own opinion. In this book written by Mahendra Nath Gupta, or "M.," and translated from the Bengali by Swami Nikhilananda, the words and stories of Ramakrishna are recorded with with almost stenographic precision. What emerges is a picture of a person who is not only loving, and lovable, but madly in love with God, what we call God-intoxicated. Readers are apt to feel that if God took a human form to talk to us, maybe this is what he would be like.
