Ramakrishna Paramhansa [3]

“An unintellectual mind cannot bring down the Knowledge?” Certainly it can. But don’t you think there is a world of difference between the expression of an intellectual mind and an unintellectual one?

Expression is another matter, but Ramakrishana was an uneducated, nonintellectual man, yet his expression of knowledge was so perfect that the biggest intellects bowed down before it.
