Kalli Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 In my humble opinion, great masters always have guided humanity from time to time. Be it Ramakrishna Pramahamsa or Chaintanya Mahaprabhu or Adi Sankaracharya, the the final purpose has always been to help individual souls attain freedom from bondage. The methods prescribed by various masters are for the specific time and age. Our objective should be not to compare and judge the relative greatness of the past masters or their school of thoughts, but rather benefit from them and progress individually. Always remember that the ultimate goal of all spiritual seeker is not to establish the greatness of ones own doctrine but the transcend the material bondage and be eternally free. This bigger picture should not be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
