Even God's emissary is hardly knowable to the wise. "The wise cannot understand the words, deeds and movements of one in whose heart dawns the love of Lord Krishna!" And so, it is impossible for the common run of people to recognize God incarnated as man. No human intelligence can recognize him. He alone knows him who is always in unison with God. The known he knows perfectly, the unseen is seen, nothing remains beyond his knowledge. The Vedanta says that men who are always with God can know even the secrets of Patala (under- world), if they so desire.

Vijoykrishna is an imponderable personality. He is not a saint-he is rather the goal the ideal for the altainment of which, even the saints meditate. In action, wisdom, love, kindness and charity, he is nonpareil. When he was a Preacher of Brahmo Religion, he was at the helm, the leader of all. An indomitable, indifatigable. worker-he passed his days drinking, at times water taken on his palms and at times eating soil and mud or some- times, only baked marigold flowers. In course of his missionary work, he moved from village to village, walking on foot, scorched by sunshine and drenched by shower.

His eloquence was amazing. Countless people flocked to hear him wherever he might go. How many, on listening to his speeches, have broken away from their time- honoured traditions, forgotten the worldly ties and lost appetite for luxury and pleasure. One day, in Dacca Brahmo Society where respectable families assembled to listen to his speeches, the breasts of ladies started secreting milk when he called "Mother: Mother:" On many occasions, while listening to his speeches, some lost their consciousness while tears rolled down in torrents from the eyes of some others. History has no other record of so powerful oratory or so tender emotion.

In wisdom. he was wiser than his age-a bright in- carnation of the Shastras who was Omniscient, a knower of all truths. He said that all Shastras were revealed to him as a flight of birds and spoke with him.

The savant Sir Vrajendranath Sil was overwhelmed by having a philosophical discussion with him even as a boy might be astounded at the first sight of the sea. Candidly he confessed that his knowledge and realization were insignificant beside the wisdom of Vijoykrishna.
