THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA is a veritable temple in ones palm, a veritable hermitage on ones palm, a veritable place of pilgrimage on ones palm. But unlike a temple or a place of pilgrimage there is no chance of its getting poluted. Nor is there any chance of its getting dilapidated like the structure of a temple. The home that houses this GOSPEL will itself become a temple. The hand that holds it will be holding the very lotus feet of the Lord. The tongue on which its letters roll will be savouring nectar itself. The Gospel is the repository of bliss; the ocean of peace; it is the manna of divine knowledge. It is the friend that stands by you in the hour of trial; it is the Guru that at the moment of overwhelming joy counsels humility and devotion, and makes you feel that you are an offering at the Lords feet. It is the torch that shows you the way in darkness; it is the staff to lean upon while trudging on an uneven path. It is the pole star that guides you when you are lost in wilderness. It is the quintessence of the Vedas and the Upanishads. After reading it even the most ordinary literate need not feel jealous of any scholar; nor does he fell inferior to any scholar of eminence. On the other hand, he feels that by the grace of God none is more blessed than himself; he attains peace and fulfilment. He acquires the vastness of the sky, the height of the highest mountains, and the dignity of the ocean. Never before had God incarnated in such an approachable form, nor had the voice of the Lord shaped itself into a book that could be read and understood by the most ordinary of men and women. KUVEMPU
