23 Feb 1896 : Aft: Lecture at the Concert Hall, Madison
Square Garden, NYC, NY-MY MASTER:
HIS LIFE AND TEACHINGS (CW 4:154-87) This day was the 60th birth anniversary of Sri Ramakrishna (lunar calendar)
The Indian nation cannot be killed. Deathless it stands, and it will
stand so long as that spirit shall remain as the background, so long as
her people do not give up their spirituality.
Beggars they may remain, poor and poverty-stricken, dirt and squalor
may surround them perhaps throughout all time, but let them not give up
their God, let them not forget that they are the children of the
sages....my Master's message to mankind is: "Be spiritual and realise
truth for Yourself." ..To proclaim and make clear the fundamental unity
underlying all religions was the mission of my Master. ..He left every
religion undisturbed because he had realised that in reality they are
all part and parcel of the one eternal religion.
