And God said unto them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the Earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over all the fish of the sea and all the fowls of the air, and every moving thing that moves upon the Earth.

This is the message of Shri Ramakrishna to the modern world: “Do not care for doctrines, do not care for dogmas, or sects, or churches, or temples; they count for little compared with the essence of existence in each man which is spirituality; and the more this is developed in a man, the more powerful is he for good. Earn that first, acquire that, and criticize no one, for all doctrines and creeds have some good in them. Show by your lives that religion does not mean words, or names, or sects, but that it means spiritual realization."
