Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.168

The Master Said:
"How is it ever possible for one man to liberate another
from the bondage of the world? God alone,
the Creator of this world-bewitching mAyA,
can save men from mAyA.
There is no other refuge but that great teacher,
SatchidAnanda [existance-knowledge-bliss].
How is it ever possible for men who have not
realized God or received His command,
and who are not strengthened with divine strength,
to save others from the prison-house of the world?"
