FRIEND 20...REF. RAMAKRISHNA 1 Stylistic representation, hyperbolic expression you see, dear friend, standard flaw of the dualistic school that falls into a literary flourish careless of balance or mathematical rigour in expounding a principle. The idea being to highlight the extraordinary role played by the divine duo of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda in countering materialism following the Avatar Principle of the Geeta that ushers in a new Age by the establishment of Dharma (Virtue/Spirituality) and the annihilation of Adharma (Vice/Irreligion), here statistical estimations have been flouted to allow for flow of the idea. This is the bane of all dualistic literature but is the way of the literary word with its onrush of imagery and affirmations that do scant justice to the essential Vedantic principle of the universality of the underlying Truth of the Self and the eternal unlost freedom of the human soul, nay, of the spirit of all that exists. But the dynamics of history and the recurrence of the downfall of civilization over and over again prompts one to pen such flights of fancy, sublime as they are though in the terrestrial emergence of a Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. I wholeheartedly appreciate your concern over, should I say, the sole cornering of glory for Ramakrishna-Vivekananda as being the saving grace for fallen humanity, a term perhaps which you may have reservations as well for. It is heartening to behold a soul so bright and perceptive as you are, dear Diptaroop, at such a young age and it fills my heart with hope for the resurgence of our beloved country and its golden message of the divinity of all.
