Question: "Are not sadhus ....... followers of the Vedanta?"

Sri Ramakrishna: "Yes, they are. But they also accept the path of devotion. The fact is that in the Kaliyuga one cannot wholly follow the path laid down in the Vedas. Once a man said to me that he would perform the Purascharana of the Gayatri. I said: 'Why don't you do that according to the Tantra? In the Kaliyuga the discipline of Tantra is very efficacious.' It is extremely difficult to perform the rites enjoined in the Vedas. Further, at the present time people lead the life of slaves It is said that those who serve others for twelve years or so become slaves. They acquire the traits of those they serve. While serving their Sri Ramakrishnas they acquire the rajas, the tamas, the spirit of violence, the love of luxury, and the other traits of their Sri Ramakrishnas. Not only do they serve their Sri Ramakrishnas, but they also enjoy a pension after their term of service is over."
