Yesterday, Santa Bahadur ploughed his field. Cobbler
Sharan had mended shoes of his family. Teacher
Ratnamaya had taught the children too. After they
finished their work Hariman and his wife served
snacks to them. They all sat together and enjoyed
snacks. Sharan and Santa Bahadur were hesitating a
bit at first but Ramkrishna said to them, “No people
can be great by caste, color or occupation. No work
is small. You have not cheated or robbed people.
Why are you hesitating? Since all of our blood is red,
we are not different. We are equal” Ratnamaya also supported Hariman.
All of them appreciate Ramkrishna and his principle.

Our society would be quite better if all the people
began to think like Ramkrishana. So we should
treat equally the women, children, labourers,
poor people, and aged people. There should
be equality for both men and woman. At the
same time, there must be equity as well. Equal
treatment with due respect to the people helps
us to maintain peace in the society. Peace is
necessary for development.
