FOREWORDby Aldous HuxleyIN THE HISTORY of the arts, genius is a thing of very rare occurrence. Rarer still,however, are the competent reporters and recorders of that genius. The world has hadmany hundreds of admirable poets and philosophers; but of these hundreds only a veryfew have had the fortune to attract a Boswell or an Eckermann.When we leave the field of art for that of spiritual religion, the scarcity of competentreporters becomes even more strongly marked. Of the day-to-day life of the greattheocentric saints and contemplatives we know, in the great majority of cases, nothingwhatever. Many, it is true, have recorded their doctrines in writing, and a few, such asSt. Augustine, Suso and St. Teresa, have left us autobiographies of the greatest value.But, all doctrinal writing is in some measure formal and impersonal, while theautobiographer tends to omit what he regards as trifling matters and suffers from thefurther disadvantage of being unable to say how he strikes other people and in what wayhe affects their lives. Moreover, most saints have left neither writings nor self-portraits,and for knowledge of their lives, their characters and their teachings, we are forced torely upon the records made by their disciples who, in most cases, have provedthemselves singularly incompetent as reporters and biographers. Hence the specialinterest attaching to this enormously detailed account of the daily life and conversationsof Sri Ramakrishna."M", as the author modestly styles himself, was peculiarly qualified for his task. To areverent love for his master, to a deep and experiential knowledge of that master'steaching, he added a prodigious memory for the small happenings of each day and ahappy gift for recording them in an interesting and realistic way. Making good use of hisnatural gifts and of the circumstances in which he found himself, "M" produced a bookunique, so far as my knowledge goes, in the literature of hagiography. No other sainthas had so able and indefatigable a Boswell. Never have the small events of acontemplative's daily life been described with such a wealth of intimate detail. Neverhave the casual and unstudied utterances of a great religious teacher been set downwith so minute a fidelity. To Western readers, it is true, this fidelity and this wealth ofdetail are sometimes a trifle disconcerting; for the social, religious and intellectualframes of reference within which Sri Ramakrishna did his thinking and expressed hisfeelings were entirely Indian. But after the first few surprises and bewilderments, webegin to find something peculiarly stimulating and instructive about the very strangenessand, to our eyes, the eccentricity of the man revealed to us in "M's" narrative. What ascholastic philosopher would call the "accidents" of Ramakrishna's life were intenselyHindu and therefore, so far as we in the West are concerned, unfamiliar and hard tounderstand; its "essence", however, was intensely mystical and therefore universal. Toread through these conversations in which mystical doctrine alternates with anunfamiliar kind of humour, and where discussions of the oddest aspects of Hindumythology give place to the most profound and subtle utterances about the nature ofUltimate Reality, is in itself a liberal, education in humility, tolerance and suspense of2
judgment. We must be grateful to the translator for his excellent version of a book socurious and delightful as a biographical document, so precious, at the same time, forwhat it teaches us of the life of the spirit.--------------------3
