Extracts from
World Thinkers On Ramakrishna - Vivekananda
By Arnold J. Toynbee
Shri Ramakrishna's message was unique in being expressed in action. The message itself was the perennial message of Hinduism.
Today we are still living in this transitional chapter of the world's history, but it is already becoming clear that a chapter which had a western beginning will have to have an Indian ending if it is not to end in the self destruction of human race. In the present age, the world has been united on the material plane by Western technology. But this Western skill has not only annihilated distance, it has armed the peoples of the world with weapons of devastating power at a time when they have been brought to point-blank range of each other without yet having learnt to know and love each other. At this supremely dangerous moment in human history, the Only way of salvation for mankind is an Indian way".
