India can only rise by sitting at the feet of Sri Ramakrishna. His life and his teachings are to be spread far and wide and should be made to penetrate every pore of Hindu society. Who will do it? Who will stem the tide of degeneration at the sacrifice of name and fame, wealth and enjoyment--nay, of every hope of this or other worlds? A few young men have jumped in the breach and have sacrificed themselves. They are a few; we want a few thousand of such as they, and they will come. I am glad that our Lord has put it in your mind to be one of them.
