Sayings of Ramakrishna 54


A Siddha-purusha (perfect one) is like an archaeologist who removes the dust and lays open an old well which was covered up during ages of disuse by rank growth. 

The Avatâra, on the other hand, is like a great engineer who sinks a new well in a place where there was no water before. 

Great men can give salvation to those only who have the waters of piety and goodness hidden in themselves, but the Savior saves him too whose heart is devoid of all love, and dry as a desert.
