Swami Saradeshananda
21. Caution in Understanding the Words of the Great– 12
The words of caution that revered Swami Vivekananda gave about publishing the sayings of Sri Ramakrishna can be summarised in two ways. Some of them were relevant to particular persons in a given situation. They had no application to all and in all conditions. That is why they have to be applied according to time, place and circumstances. The other kind of teachings was for everybody and was applicable under all circumstances. So if we apply every one of them everywhere without discrimination, there is the possibility of our being misled.
