Did Ramakrishna provide Vivekananda a glimpse of hope to support him through his spiritual struggles?

outcome
"Embrace the truth of what is, for speculation and comforting assumptions only cloud the clarity of understanding. Acknowledge your not-knowing rather than disguise it with illusions."
According to Osho, speculating in 'could have been' terms about whether Ramakrishna gave Vivekananda hope only distracts from truth. One should see facts exactly as they are; if exact facts are unknown, acknowledge not-knowing rather than cover ignorance with comforting assumptions. Cut out hypotheticals and attend to what is, because speculation leads you astray and harms clear understanding.
If you don’t know for sure, don’t guess—say you don’t know and stick to the facts.
