The Vedic Truth and Sri Ramkrishna Deva as a Hindu
17. Sri
Ramkrishna – “Yes, sometimes I say – ‘Thou art but I’ and again sometimes I say
– ‘I am Thou’”.
Who is this Thou? No
particulars of this ‘Thou’ are given. It is but vague term returning in India
and nobody in the world will ever be able to measure the length of time since
when it had its birth. Anybody and everybody may claim and say so. But what
matters it to the cause of the humanity? Sri Ramkrishna may say here, “Just you
give up wealth and woman and be an Avatar like me and then you may assert as I
do”. But it is not giving up of wealth and woman which made him an Avatar. His
father dreamt a dream in which Raghubir (another name or Rama) the family
deity, appeared in dream before his father and gave out that He (Raghubir)
would be born as his son. The legend was whispered in his family. As a child or
a boy Sri Ramkrishna overheard it a myriad of times He came out from his native
village at the age of seventeen and entered the service in the temple garden at
the age of twenty. Then some twelve years or so rolled by as the hardest
disciplinarian aspirant and then he became a full-fledged Avatar when the
itinerant lady monk Bharivi had given him the degree of Avatar as settled by a
vast gathering of very famous pundits – according to the version of Sri
Ramkrishna whose education remained confined in two R’s only though it is
indispensably required for a man to start life with three R’s – numbered three or
four only and two of them were Vaishnav Charan and Gouri Pundit not known to
anybody else as Pundits – who were also his (Sri Ramkrishna) satellites. Yes,
an Avatar is born and mankind do please hear “No chance for you or yours race
to become an Avatar. Everything is settled as by birth right and then a man
becomes an Avatar and though nobody knows what is Avatarism.
Now an Avatar says – “I am
Thou and Thou art but I”. It is Brahmahood.
In the Vedanta, there is no
Avatar. Then how it is possible for Sri Ramkrishna to play the double role of
an Avatar as well as Brahma or the Supreme or the Perfect One?
Avatarism does not bear any
proof. Whereas in the Vedic Mantra it is explicitly and authoritatively written
– the distributor of Oneness is the Perfect One as One is alone perfect because
the question of comparison does not necessarily arise and furthermore it is so
declared by the humanity experiencing “Oneness” with a living human being.
