The Compassion of Mahans
The shastras describe the infinite attributes, powers, and characteristics of God. So what is that one attribute of God that stands out as the most benign and wonderful? It is the quality of “Prema” or “Unconditional Love”.

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, a great mahan who lived in the 19th century, was indeed such a Sadguru, a “kArana rahita krupa nidhi” (one who is a storehouse of compassion for no reason at all!)
