Swami Vivekananda - A Man of Cosmic Vision & with Global Mission



Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

When Sri Ramakrishna had attained perfection in all the sadhanas and had become firmly established in Bhava mukha, he came to certain conclusions regarding himself and spiritual matters in general.

Regarding himself he had the conviction that

1. He was an Incarnation of God, an Adhikarika Purusha all of whose spiritual strivings were for the sake of others
2. As long as the work of Iswara’s doing good to jivas continues, he has to reincarnate himself from age to age and carry out that mission
3. He knew the time of his passing away long before his mahasamadhi .


Regarding spiritual matters in general he came to realize both by reason and through his yogic insight that


1. All religions are true and the various faiths are but so many paths to The One Godhead
2. His advent was to reveal this truth to the world and arrest the decline of religions and the quarrelling among themselves
3. The doctrines of dualism, qualified monism and monism influenced each one according to his spiritual progress
4. They are not contradictory, but complimentary to one another, depending on the evolution of the human mind
5. the non-dual state of Consciousness which is beyond the range of thought and word, is the ultimate goal to be realized
6. only the state up to qualified non-dualism can be grasped, by the mind and intellect and expressed in words, and in that state both the Absolute and the relative are equally eternal
7. The Lord Himself, His Name and His Abode are all of pure Consciousness
8. To the ordinary people attached to worldly enjoyments, the practice of dualism consisting in the disciplines of singing aloud the Lord’s name and form, His glory and powers, as presented in Narada Pancharatra, one of the devotional scriptures, is commendable
9. Performing one’s duty with a spirit of resignation to the will of and solely depending on God, the constant singing of God’s name together with meditation of Him which is Karma Yoga in practice is befitting the people of this age
10. The Mother of the Universe would found through him a new Movement to disseminate these universal doctrines illustrated in his own life
11. She would send dedicated bands of workers who would accept him as their ideal and spread his liberal doctrines and spiritual teachings to the world.
