“
…it is not necessary to preach that Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was an Incarnation, and things of that sort. He came to do good to the world, not to trumpet his own name—you must always remember this. Disciples pay their whole attention to the preservation of their master’s name, and throw overboard his teachings; and sectarianism etc., are the result…I have nothing to do with sectarianism, or party-forming and playing the frog-in-the-well, whatever else I may do…It is impossible to preach the catholic ideas of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and form sects at the same time.
