"'It may be that there is no solution or it may be that I'm not clever enough to find it. Ramakrishna looked upon the world as the sport of God. "It is like a game," he said. "In this game there are joy and sorrow, virtue and vice, knowledge and ignorance, good and evil., The game cannot continue if sin and suffering are altogether eliminated from the creation." I would reject that with all my strength. The best I can suggest is that when the Absolute manifested itself in the world evil was the natural correlation of good. You could never have had the stupendous beauty of the Himalayas without the unimaginable horror of a convulsion of the earth's crust. The Chinese craftsman who makes a vase in what they call eggshell porcelain can give it a lovely shape, ornament it with a beautiful design, stain it a ravishing colour, and give it a perfect glaze, but from its very nature he can't make it anything but fragile. If you drop it on the floor it will break into a dozen fragments. Isn't it possible in the same way that the values we cherish in the world can only exist in combination with evil?"

The similies used here are good. I would not agree with this person who rejects Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, but the description is interesting. Only an idiot, would go against the grain of a god-man. Actually, this person inherits the position by the former (the great Yogi) has his intellectual and theoretical base before giving his so called 'rejected' opinion, which is nothing more than a further digress of the same basis with a little cantankering in the elements. Western philosophy is mostly an abridged version of Greek development, and that itself flowed from the Arabs, who came in contact with the Indian peninsula.
