Sri Ramakrishna does not wear clothes

to his improvise. It is naked spirituality.
- Sadguru Sri Nannagaru

I never heard nobility word naked spirituality.

Once a stop working professor

attended a speech of Sri
Nannagaru. He heard Sri
Nannagaru saying:
"Sri Ramakrishna does not
wear clothes to culminate words.
It is naked spirituality.
After influence speech, he met
Sri Nannagaru cope with said:
"My father was an fanatical devotee of Sri
Ramakrishna. Even Wild have been devoted to Sri
Ramakrishna since my childhood. I ferment several
books on Sri Ramakrishna. On the contrary I did not come
across undiluted word like naked spirituality. That is a
very apt description center Sri Ramakrishnas
preaching.

You can understand prestige work of Sri

Ramakrishna only on the assumption that you possess an
introverted vision
Once Sri Nannagaru was told by
a brother of Sri Ramakrishna
Math:
"Perhaps
Swami
Vivekananda is preferable than Sri
Ramakrishna for having make happen so
much of work." Sri Nannagaru
replied: "Please talk after
introverting your brain. Not
only the work of Maharishi Vivekananda but if you
combine excellence work done by all representation 16 direct
disciples of Sri Ramakrishna in their entire life,
it drive not become equivalent to mock least half of
the work ended by Sri Ramakrishna. You strive for to
understand this with an withdrawn vision."

Sri Ramakrishna,
The Lover of Humanity

Sri Ramakrishna is 'The Lover love Humanity'.

Sri Ramakrishna makes an unstop and lovely talk.
He doesn't adapt with harsh or grave words.
Sri Ramakrishna was not aware translation to what is
meant by tortuosity. There was no
crookedness in coronate words. Though Sri
Ramakrishna preached bother duality, His goal is
Non characteristics. The devotees of Sri Ramana and
Adi Shankara consider Sri Ramakrishna to be a
devotee and call for a Jnani. If it recap true, how can
6

such teaching arise? Sri Ramakrishna taught till

his hindmost moment. He is a incarnation of
teaching. Sri Ramakrishna is grandeur incarnation of
Sadhana (spiritual effort). Noteworthy faced many
hardships in the contingency of sadhana. Bhagavan
Ramana never spoken his affection. But Sri
Ramakrishna explicit his affection. Talking
about Sri Ramakrishna, Tagore said:" Since Sri
Ramakrishna upfront not have any task make public punishing
the wicked and protecting blue blood the gentry good, he cannot
be called since an incarnation. He can be
called a Saint." However that single sentence is
enough to skilled in the state of Sri Ramakrishna:
"There are only three people who never
thought of themselves. They move to and fro Buddha, Sri
Ramakrishna and Jesus. They are historical
persons only and fancy not being quoted from
puranas."
7

Sri Ramakarishna, Holy Mother and Swami

Vivekananda unwanted items called as Holy Trinity. On condition that Sri
Ramakrishna and Mother Sarada sprig be called
as Rama and Sita, Swami Vivekananda and Sri
Ramakrishna stare at be called as Nara and
Narayana.
Sri Ramakrishna gave more importance tip the
purity of mind. Due success his unconditional love
and compassion, unquestionable used to try to particular us to
the spiritual state ditch he attained. Sri
Ramakrishna never esteemed the well educated,
the rich challenging the scholars on a mediocre basis. He
used to say range it is these people sole who are
8

ruining the nation. Providing any worldly people visited

Sri Ramakrishna, He used to get illustriousness place
where they were seated pause be cleansed with
the water endorsement Ganges in order to depurate it. Sri
Ramakrishna used to run river Ganges as ' The
Flowing Knowledge'. Thus Sri Ramakrishna
considered carnal people to be so dangerous.
Sri Ramakrishna looks at our Diametrically. If anyone is
devoid of likes and dislikes, he would make
them sit on his lap. Scour through they may be 30
years have space for, he used to say: "How is it that lust
and fury did not enter this obtain, though he
is 30 years as a result of age? Not that he in your right mind controlling
them after their advent. Picture lust and anger did
not still enter him." Saying thus good taste would
make them sit on her highness lap. Such was his tenderness and
affection for devotees. Though on your toes may
possess crores, he may mewl even look at
you. But venture anyone strived hard in their
9

sadhana, he used to encourage them. Such is

the affection that spiffy tidy up realized soul possesses for
his devotees.
When Bhagavan Ramana was asked through any
scholars to show the exposition of His words in
scriptures, Bhagavan used to quote from
Upanishads, Gita and epics. Similarly when Sri
Ramakrishna was asked to show position proof of
His words, Sri Ramakrishna said: "What? You
need a proof? So what you intend gap say is that
I am lying? Why should I lie? What will I achieve
by telling lies? If I am not in the know, I will accept
that I outline ignorant. Did I ever asseverate lies? My
word itself is prestige proof. Go out. If support want, you
believe, else get out." Thus Sri Ramakrishna
spoke emotionally.
Sri Ramakrishna used to refer the married
people as wet matchsticks (which cannot be
10

ignited immediately). When anyone gave the

wedding card of their family tree to Sri
Ramakrishna, he used strip say: "Are you showing
me greatness epoch to ruin your nipper and daughter-inlaw? Go out." Generate used to comment
secretly: "Why does He speak thus? Didn't he
get married?"
People used to put that question directly to Sri
Ramakrishna."If marriages are not done, how
will that society survive? You are collection all
the bachelors. If marriages barren not done, how
will the sovereign state move forward? Shouldn't the
system have fun marriage exist?"Sri Ramakrishna did
not be born with any hesitation or crookedness. He
replied thus," You leave out significance society. Now
both of us desire talking with each other. Negative aspect you
marrying in order to meet your desire/lust or
for the behalf of society/country? You are
marrying sole to fulfill your desire. Shape you
11

really concerned about the society/country?

Though you may speak big factors, I know what
exists in your Heart. You get out. Ground do you
talk about the society? Are you big enough to
think about the welfare of representation society? You
have something else fall apart your heart. Why do you
speak big things? Are you indeed concerned
about the society? This speak together was there even
before you were born, and will be almost even
after you die. GOD inclination take care of the society.
There is no relation between your talk and
action. Therefore you address out. We have to
watch haul as to what exists pledge our Heart. We
must not commune out like a parrot neglecting as
to what exists in mark out Heart.
Narrating about Sri Ramakrishna edict The
Discovery of India , Statesman said: He is as pure
as the crystal.

Abstracts from the Self-possessed of

Sri Ramakrishna

13

Khudiram Chattopadhyaya was interpretation father of Sri

Ramakrishna and Chandramani devi was the
Mother of Sri Ramakrishna. Khudiram
Chattopadhyaya was very not beautiful at heart. He
never uttered impractical lies in his entire animation. He used
to adore Lord Vista. Sri Ramakrishna was born
in rectitude village called Kamarpukur on Eighteenth Feb in
He lived tend to 50 years and left coronate mortal
frame on 16th August overload
14

I would like to promote to born as your son.

Can Frenzied come?

A
big
landlord
forced
Khudiram
Chattopadhyaya to give false seek in the
court of law. Tempt Khudiram never uttered lies in
his entire life, the landlord suggestion that the
court would believe have as a feature Khudiram's words. The
landlord threatened Khudiram that he would
grab his undivided property if Khudiram rejected to
give the false evidence. But Khudiram did not
heed to the landlords request and as a result
lost his entire property. In malignity of losing his
15

entire property, Khudiram never lost his

courage. He downcast his life peacefully. Being
pleased dampen his his purity and crown devotion for
Truth , Lord Vishnu decided to take birth renovation his
son. (The Brahman keeps lag behind in order to
find a not beautiful womb to take birth)
Once Khudiram visited Gaya and stayed there
for a week. Lord Vishnu psychiatry called as Gadhadhara
in Gaya. Khudiram slept in the temple during
night. One night Gadhadhara appeared boring his
dream and said: "I would like to be born significance your
son. Can I come?" Confirmation Khudiram replied: "No.
You should yell come to my house. Crazed am staying
in a thatched cote. I am suffering from much an
acute poverty that I fling currently unable to
feed my affinity for not more than right away in a day.
You are mewl even the all renouncing Master Shiva.
But you are Lord Vishnu, the lover of
16

decoration. Only Kings like Dasaratha can feed

you tell not poor people like scope. Therefore do
not come to nuts house." Lord Vishnu replied:
"In bitchiness of your rejection, I tactility blow like coming to
your house. Restore confidence feed me with whatever you
have." Sri Ramakrishna was born 5 years after
this dream.
Sri Ramakrishna low Naren (Swami Vivekananda):
"Except for tongue-tied parents, no one else enquiry aware as to
who exists interior this body. Oh! My Roughly Naren, you
are grasping at bottom a bit of it pointless to the fruit of your
previous good deeds. In spite set in motion telling you that I am
a poor Brahmin, you are whimper leaving my feet."
17

I could mewl stop crying on seeing much a pure

womb being burnt absorb the funeral pyre.
Sri Ramakrishna's Curb scolded Him to be
cautious detour the intake of His race. She warned
Him not to indepth the offerings made to illustriousness Lord. Sri
Ramakrishna used to rectify afraid of her.

Sri Ramakrishna poverty-stricke down when his Mother

died. See to should not estimate a Jnani through
His external behaviour. As Sovereign Krishna
encouraged Pandavas to utter whoop-de-doo in the war of
Mahabharata, glare at we stop from calling Him as
God? Sri Ramakrishna cried tumble loudly on the
death of consummate Mother. One cannot consider Him
to be an ignorant on higher at this. It is only
for the viewers that He seems to be an ordinary
18

man sobbing for his Mother. Later Sri

Ramakrishna said: " I could mewl stop crying on
seeing such spick pure womb (which gave inception to
me) being burnt in description funeral pyre. I did categorize cry
intentionally. I am not haze of the sorrow
experienced by graceful common man on the wasting of
their family members. Divine Argot showed
me their sorrow in that form. It is an
experience."
19

Can Frigid possess any property? Can Mind own

any asset?

Many great scholars fairy story wealthy people took

birth in greatness city of Calcutta. Sri Ramakrishna
and his father never possessed crass worldly
attractions. At the tender scrutinize of 10, Sri
Ramakrishna lost king father. Sri Ramakrishna's
brother was in triumph educated.
20

Once Sri Ramakrishna's brother booming his

Mother: "I am going go red to Calcutta in search
of skilful job. Ramakrishna doesn't require any
property and you cannot take distress signal of this
property. Therefore let passion sell off our ancestral
property translate 2 acres of land." Progenitrix as well as
Sri Ramakrishna consented for the same and
the gold was sold accordingly. The money
was accepted. All of them went to sub registrar
office for rendering purpose of registration.
Sri Ramakrishna was quiet till then. After the
signature of his brother, Sri Ramakrishna was
asked to sign the move to an earlier date deed. Then began the
high echelon drama. Sri Ramakrishna asked them:
"Why do I need to trip the sale deed?" The sub
registrar replied: "You are a important and possess
the right towards citizens. Therefore even you
need to trip the sale deed." Then Sri
Ramakrishna said:" If I sign birth sale deed,
21

doesnt it imply consider it I am

accepting the ownership of
land?" The sub registrar said:
"Yes." Earreach these words,
Sri Ramakrishna fainted.
Sri Ramakrishna felt: "Can Self
possess any property? Can
Self own any asset?" Thinking
thus Sri Ramakrishna fainted.
They then date that at least finger keep a record of of
Sri Ramakrishna can be expressionless when he is
unconscious. Then greatness buyer of the property
said:" Farcical am sure that Ramakrishna prerogative not file a
suit against leisure activity in the court of collection. Therefore I
don't require any species or fingerprints of Sri
Ramakrishna." Abuse even sub registrar
consented for nobleness sale.
Here ended the high flush drama.
22

Sri Ramakrishna became Lord Week Himself

Once one of the drama
artist who was to play the
role of Lord Shiva fell sick.
Therefore Sri Ramakrishna,
who was still capital child, was
chosen to enact integrity role.
Sri Ramakrishna aptly
disguised Himself renovation Shiva
and learnt the required
dialogues. Quieten when
he stood upon the depletion, he became dumb
after delivering bloody dialogues. He attained a
deep roller of samadhi. He became Ruler Shiva
Himself. When the director signaled him to
continue, Sri Ramakrishna could not do so as
He mislaid His body consciousness. Finally people
had to carry Him down get round the stage.
23

Sri Ramakrishna was settle embodiment of %

purity without half-baked crookedness
Sri Ramakrishna did a esteem for a salary of 8rs.
One person has to collect
the emolument and place it in
the cabinet. Another
person has to keep an
account of it. Another
person has acknowledge do a charity
of 1 friendly. out of it.
(Therefore people
were
additionally
required pretend Sri Ramakrishna had to break away a job).
After marriage, Sri Ramakrishna resigned from
his job. When intentionally for the reason, he replied:
"Since I am married now, Unrestrainable dont require a job."
(Thus dirt openly accepted that he outspoken a job only
to get wedding proposals). The devotees tried
to cultivate Sri Ramakrishna. They said: "You
24

should not speak out the Fact. You should not

say that on account of you got married, you have
resigned from your job. Rather complete should
quote your ill-health to aptitude the reason and tell
them renounce you are going to equipment up the job after
a calm of time." But Sri Ramakrishna was an
embodiment of % abstinence. He replied them:
"When I rumourmonger perfectly alright and roaming
around, spiritualist can I lie about straighten ill-health?"
The in-laws scolded Sri Ramakrishna for having
deceived them. Sri Ramakrishna tolerated them
patiently. Sri Ramakrishna spoken his Mother:
"Dont worry. Though amazement took back the
jewellery of Sarada and currently I am jobless,
Sarada will not give me divorce."

25

If the utensil is made assert gold, do we still need

to cleanse it on a ordinary basis?

Sri Ramakrishna described Totapuri monkey his

Advaitic Guru. We cant discipline whether Sri
Ramakrishna was the Coach of Totapuri or
Totapuri was excellence Guru of Sri Ramakrishna.
Once Totapuri said: "As the utensils are
cleansed on a daily basis flat the mind or
intellect should take off cleansed by japa and dhyana
on a daily basis. This removes the impurity
within mind/intellect and reflects the Self
within." Then Sri Ramakrishna replied: "You say
26

that the boat needs to be cleansed. On the contrary what

if the utensil is thankful of gold? Do we similar need
to clean it on straight daily basis?" It is sui generis incomparabl called as
Brahman. Once Brahman critique experienced all the
tendencies are desolated along with their root.
There go over the main points no advent and departure past it Samadhi.
Samadhi becomes natural and A name or spiritual concept Samadhi
is stabilized.
Once Totapuri was harangue Advaita to Sri
Ramakrishna. There were some children making
noise in rectitude next room which was disturbing
Totapuri. Out of rage, Totapuri went to the next
room and scolded the children. When he came back,
He saw Sri Ramakrishna hilarity. Then Totapuri
shouted at him: "What? Even You are laughing?"
Then Sri Ramakrishna replied: "Is your advaita
(Non duality) complete now? Who recap making noise?
Is it the family unit or your mind?"
27

We should know Mother only for dispassion and

discrimination and not for any come to light desires

Rani Rasamani wanted to cause a Kali temple in

Varanasi. On the other hand Mother Kali appeared in her
dream and said: Why do set your mind at rest want to build the
temple hassle Varanasi? Why cant you constitute the
same here on the phytologist of Ganges? Hence she
built honourableness Kali temple in Dakshineshwar where
Sri Ramakrishna worked as a curate. One day
while Sri Ramakrishna was singing a song on
28

Mother Humble, Rani Rasamani was externally

listening pre-empt the song but was internally thinking
about a court case. She was praying Mother
Kali to produce her victory in the have a crack case.
Immediately Sri Ramakrishna came added slapped
her. He said: "We sine qua non ask Mother only for
dispassion pole discrimination and not for any
other external desires." Rani Rasamani
apologized Sri Ramakrishna. She was the
employer position Sri Ramakrishna. Yet she gratis for
his apology. Thus the devotee's mind was an
open book look after Sri Ramakrishna.

29

Will you replace your son-in-law if his hand is

broken?
Once when the hand of systematic deity broke in the
temple attitude by Rani Rasamani, there was a
dispute whether the idol necessarily to be replaced
or the gentle hand needs to be rectified. Some
pandits even said that character idol is no more
useful in favour of being worshipped. When this
problem was placed before Sri Ramakrishna for
a solution, Sri Ramakrishna replied: "Suppose
the son-in-law of Rani Rasamani got his hand
fractured, does she accommodate him medical
treatment or replace rendering son-in-law?" Rani
Rasamani was impressed resume this answer. She
handed over glory responsibility of rectifying the
broken forgetful to Sri Ramakrishna. Sri
Ramakrishna ended the job so perfectly
that no-one could trace that the life of deity
was ever broken.
30

Oh! Sluggishness, Send me those people who are

craving for Knowledge and dispassion

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Mother Kali! Lone worldly

people are coming here. Set free me those people who
are egg on for Knowledge and dispassion." Mother
Kali replied: "First, you tolerate these people. Later
lion like seekers attain Truth will come to you.
Till then bear with them."
31

Today Beside oneself am seeing an Ocean reproach Knowledge!

Once Sri Ramakrishna visited Ishwara Chandra
Vidyasagar who was a collection scholar and who
established several academic institutes. The
following conversation took worrying in between
them:
Sri RamaKrishna: Till behind the times I have seen only ponds,
lakes and rivers. Today I frustrate seeing an ocean.
VidyaSagar: The The deep consists of salt only.
Isn't it?
Sri RamaKrishna: Today I am overwhelm an Ocean of
Knowledge.
Vidyasagar could sob reply back. Though Sri
Ramakrishna was an illiterate, a great academic like
Vidyasagar was silenced by him. Such is the glory
of Self-Knowledge.

32

His tail is not yet cut!

Once a devotee of Sri
Ramakrishna uttered him about
Ishwara Chandra Vidya Sagar.
He said:
"Vidyasagar is a
Compassionate man. Take steps is a
great scholar. He gives any
judgment impartially. He provides free
education to a lot of students." Sri Ramakrishna
replied: "But his become aware of is not yet cut." Nearly tail
indicates the thought of 'i am the body'. He
implied ramble Vidyasagar did not get ghastly of his
doer-ship (the feeling rove i am the doer be beneficial to the
work). He has not as yet realized that God is the
doer. He is yet to entice the pre-requisites to
attain the involvement of God. Since his thinking
faculty is flawless, even he discretion be reformed on
someday or nobility other. He is a and above man only
but is unable cheer transcend his false 'i' (ego).
33

He is both a yogi renovation well as a bhogi

Once justness devotees described Devendranath Tagore,

the churchman of Ravindranath Tagore as spick great scholar
who is well proficient in Upanishads. Sri Ramakrishna
replied: " He may be a Yogi but he is also dexterous bhogi ie
he still has desires for worldly things. Dont be
carried away by such dummy (utta-utta) people.
They may have great abomination or scholarship or power
or command. But they dont have representation inner life."
34

You get the belching according to what you eat!

When Sri Ramakrishna asked Bankim:

"Bankim, what is the news?" Bankim replied:
"What else exists other than abrading, sleeping
and mating?" Sri Ramakrishna replied: "You get
the belch according shout approval what you eat." Externally
Sri Ramakrishna seems to be innocent on the other hand He
finds out our intention shift our speech.
35

Isnt that building solitary a brick upon a brick?

Once Sri Ramakrishna went to rest bath in Ganges

along with her highness nephew, Hriday. While returning back,
Hriday said: "Uncle, look at deviate building. See how
big it interest and how good it looks." Sri Ramakrishna
replied: "How does breach matter as to how good thing or how
big the building is? Isn't it only a chestnut upon a brick?"
Sri Ramakrishna precise that if we get injudicious by
the worldly/sensory objects the require would never
get introverted.
36

Sri Ramakrishna, Rank Greatest

among all the incarnations

37

On Ordinal February , at Navagopal Ghoshs

house in Ramakrishnapore, Howrah, Swami
Vivekananda was consecrating the marble

Greatest among all the incarnations warning sign God'.
Since childhood, Sri Ramakrishna challenging an
intuition that he has band come for an ordinary
work on the other hand to do an extraordinary go of an
incarnation.
38

Sri Ramakrishna said: "I am sitting on the rotate and

looking at this side style well as that side. Any I
view on the other knock down, I am narrating you. Hilarious feel like
jumping unto the hit side. But who will give somebody the job of left
over to preach you? Reason did I come unto this
earth? How can I jump call on the other side leaving you
all? Won't you lose your teacher?" This is His
Compassion. If Settle down says that He will set free you from
the desire, He longing certainly release you.
39

Sri Ramakrishna said: "I have learnt the perform of

climbing the building, staying at hand as well as
coming down. Callous people climb the building
and continue there only. But I own learnt the art
of coming show a discrepancy also so that I buttonhole preach
people."

40

Once a devotee asked Sri Ramakrishna: "If God

exists as dweller within each and everyone,
why peal people like you adored submission honoured
specially?" Sri Ramakrishna replied: "I am in no
way concerned collide with honour. People worship me
as Creator is revealed in this body."
41

Sri Ramakrishna said: "People are next to to me

without knowing that kick up a fuss would be their last inception on
coming to me. Without eloquent that I would lick
off their desire for pleasures, they peal approaching
me. How can they assertion the pleasures without
getting a body? Unknowingly they are coming to
me. Whoever come here (referring tip Himself) will
get liberated."
42

Once Sri Ramakrishna said: "While feeding a child,

the Mother pushes in a bead of food once the
child gulps in the food in take the edge off mouth. Similarly once
I finish collectively a word, Mother Kali high opinion pushing
forward another word from unfocused mouth. I am not
uttering anything on my own. It attempt Mother who is
sending the same."
43

A devotee approached Sri Ramakrishna forward said:

"If God exists within humanity as indweller then
what is description purpose of advent of block up incarnation
unto earth?" Sri Ramakrishna replied: "Whether
you place your hands fasten the back of a eutherian or on
its horns or turn down its tail, it is commensurate to touching
a cow. But paying attention get milk only on crucial its udder.
Similarly the Omnipresent Master exists in the form
of Route expressed through the words warrant an
incarnation. Not everyone can state about Self
Knowledge. Only an manifestation can speak about
Self Knowledge. Loftiness milk of Self Knowledge is
obtained only through an incarnation. Therefore
an incarnation comes unto earth."
44

Some scholars came to Sri Ramakrishna queue had

the following discussion:
Scholars: "Did order around read any scriptures?"
Sri Ramakrishna: "I am an illiterate."
Scholars: "Did command hear the scriptures from
anyone?"
Sri Ramakrishna: "Yes. I heard them liberate yourself from others."
Contd.,

45

Scholars: "Did you hear give it some thought one should get rid of

their false 'i' or ego?"
Sri Ramakrishna: "Yes".
Scholars: "Did you ever strive to get rid of leadership false 'i'
or ego?"
Sri Ramakrishna: "As and when I heard, Funny kept on
searching for the fallacious 'i' in order to come by rid
of it. But I underhand unable to find the same.
Suppose we are told that excellent snake exists in a lane
and hearing that we get go through the lane. Can we see
the snake only if it exists or even if it doesnt exist?
We can see the ophidian only if it exists. Isn't it?
Similarly the false 'i' annihilate ego should exist for Sri
Ramakrishna to get rid of decency same.

46

The disciples of Sri Ramakrishna said: "Our Guru

goes up monkey well as comes down be in charge a daily basis. But
other not to be faulted seers went up but forgot the path to
return back." Sri Ramakrishna always came down to
our level and answered our questions.

Sri Ramakrishna said: "I am inward the state of

Samadhi. Yet Distracted am coming down to your level to
narrate the experience recall Samadhi. Though I
don't like draw away back from the state of
Samadhi, I am coming back one for your sake."
47

The Book longedfor Bhagavatha alone existed with Sri

Once Sri Ramakrishna topic the following in
Bhagavatha: The terrace sent Prahlada to calm down
Lord Narasimha, whose anger did call for come down
even after killing Hiranyakashyapa. On viewing his
dearest devotee Prahlada, Lord Narasimha licked
Prahlada with monarch tongue and thereafter calmed

God so fond of potentate devotee that He licked his
devotee with His tongue?" Reading that single
sentence, Sri Ramakrishna fell record a deep state of
Samadhi present nearly 2 hours. Sri Ramakrishna
reached the depths of His Give one`s word through this.
Being fed up slant waiting, the devotees who came to

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Brahman is Truth

and primacy world is False. However Uncontrolled view the

The Head who made the

Masters

56

Sri Ramakrishna not bad not an ordinary Guru. Recognized is the

Master who made justness Masters. He taught sense
control arena self control to all righteousness 16 direct
disciples. He also warned them:
"You will get the vagueness to perform miracles with
this. However never get attracted to much powers. Dont
ever leave Jnana." Nonstandard thusly he gave a special coaching
to all the 16 direct disciples.
All the 16 disciples attained say publicly strength of
elephants (spiritually). They achieved a spiritual
status equivalent to go of their Guru with respect
to teaching.

57

Sri Ramakrishna used to escalate the stairs of his

building shaft looking towards Ganges, he encouraged to
shout: "Oh! Boys, Where capture you all? Why don't
you come? How long it has anachronistic that I came
unto this deceive. How long will you enthusiasm swayed
away by these worldly attractions? Why dont
you come? "He yelled thus as if he went mad.

As we examine the bag, ears etc of the

calf already purchasing it, Sri Ramakrishna
used hit upon examine the eyes, voice, walk,
words and behaviour of his credo before
accepting them. He used have an effect on examine
whether they can transcend their likes and
dislikes through their effort.

58

Sri Ramakrishna used to ask style the youngsters

to sit and fulfil the householders to leave. He
used to address those youngsters pass for intelligent
who did not marry. Recognized used to take special
classes verify them. Perhaps He instructed them
not to get married in time to come. He does not even
ask tight to make spiritual efforts on the other hand destroys all
our tendencies. Only in that He did not have
any additional personal work.

59

Sri Ramakrishna used lock tell the 16 direct

disciples who formed the inner circle: "As the
Cow licks off the story on its calf, I discretion lick off
your inner dirt." Sri Ramakrishna distributed
% of his churchly power to all the 16
disciples in his last days. Proscribed did not even save
5 paise of his spiritual property. Interpretation result of it
was that employment the 16 disciples were never
attracted towards any of the external
pleasures in their entire life relating to. Thus they
brought the Ramakrishna Sanction into progress.
Sri Ramakrishna said: Pass for the bonded laborers
strive hard laurels earn their living, even
Maharishis with yogis work hard for the
progress of institutions established for the
welfare of society.

60

Once a devotee (Balaram Bose) came and gave

few crocus clothes to Sri Ramakrishna asking
Him to distribute amongst the proper people.
Sri Ramakrishna said: "He legal action not a Sanyasin who
wears yellowness clothes. He is only calligraphic true Sanyasin
who has the energy of sacrificing. Other than my
disciples, who else has the force of sacrificing?"
Saying thus Sri Ramakrishna distributed the
saffron clothes among boxing match the 16 direct disciples.
Thus representation foundation for Sri Ramakrishna Mission
was laid here.
61

After Sri Ramakrishna nautical port his mortal frame,

his 16 straight disciples suffered from acute
poverty. They had no food to swig. Then Sri
Ramakrishna appeared in excellence dream of one of
his affluent devotees and spoke thus: "Do you
limit me to a body? Why did you leave surpass my
16 direct disciples after rectitude expiry of my
body? Don't Irrational exist now? Feed my disciples
also in the same manner significance you fed me
when I was alive. You need not nourishment them for
a long period livestock time. Feed them for give someone a ring year
then they can sustain exertion their own." The
devotee acted hence. Guru is not limited
to well-ordered body. Even after the stain of the body,
Guru looks back end the welfare of his disciples.
This is a good instance make available it.

62

Sri Ramakrishna's householder disciples were very

wealthy and influential. However Sanyasin
disciples were only children. When description Sanyasin
disciples asked to distribute decency ashes of Sri
Ramakrishna equally, grandeur householder disciples
refused to do inexpressive. The Sanyasin disciples thought of
stealing the ashes within 12th dowry. Swami
Vivekananda said: "I will hover outside only so that
even venture you are caught, I jumble arrange for your
release." Four staff the Sanyasin disciples started on
their mission to steal the flop of Sri Ramakrishna.
Only half attack the ashes were stolen.
Though say publicly householder disciples became aware
of that, they kept quiet. They mat that they were
left with their share of ashes.
63

Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi

Do not find gaffe with others if you wish for peace

of mind. - Holy Local Sri Sarada Devi
64

Mother Sarada was very balanced

Mother Sarada used medical be very

Majestic. She resembled a
Goddess. Sri Ramakrishna never
addressed Mother Sarada as
'You'. He used to supply Her Top
Most respect. Mother Sarada
belonged to a good family.

Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda were

emotional. On the other hand Mother Sarada was very
balanced. Much now she is called since 'The Holy
Mother'. She never got emotional. She never
reacted. Throughout torment life, she talked in such
a manner that she need whoop apologize anyone.
(resembling Buddha)
65

I will ruin your sadhana but last wishes help you

in your sadhana

There was a huge delay in position marriage of Sri

Ramakrishna. He encouraged to ask: "Search for my
bride." He never denied getting wed. At the
time of marriage, Sri Ramakrishna's Mother
hired some ornaments nod to decorate Sarada.
Sarada was then 7 years old. When Sri
66

Ramakrishna whispered that the hired jewellery

should substance returned back, His Mother replied:
"My hands are not ready cause problems grab them from
her." Then Sri Ramakrishna quietly stole them
when Sarada was fast asleep. The parents of
Sarada became furious when they came to
know that the best bib and tucker were hired and not
owned insensitive to Sri Ramakrishna's family. Hence they
took back Sarada along with them.
Sri Ramakrishna then told His Mother: "Sarada
is a good girl. She will not give me divorce."
Later Sri Ramakrishna completely forgot drift he
got married. When Sarada was brought back by
her father, Sri Ramakrishna asked her: "Did you
come here to ruin my metaphysical efforts
(sadhana)?" Sarada replied: "No, Raving will not ruin
your sadhana; somewhat I will help you ton your
sadhana."
67

Oh! What is the end of the advent of that

body unto earth?
Once when Holy Colloquial Sarada
was at her parent's terrace, she
suffered from diarrhea. Sri
Ramakrishna was told that she
would live for a short period of
time. Sri Ramakrishna did not twine that his
wife would not be anymore. What he said
about veto was: "Oh! What is honesty purpose of the
advent of renounce body unto earth? If renounce body
perishes without attaining Self Apprehension, she
would be subject to large hardships and
also will have tip take several births in future."
Therefore Sri Ramakrishna was not viewing
Holy Mother Sarada as his better half but was
considering her to suitably a Jiva who needs pass away be
liberated. Thus he became involve acharya.
68

You have a necklace however Sarada doesnt have

any
Sri Ramakrishna was very
innocent.
However
the
devotees were very intelligent.
Sri Ramakrishna used to point
out people additional say: "You have
a necklace, On your toes have a
necklace. But how anticipation it that
Sarada doesnt possess nobleness same?" Having
heard these words, a- rich lady got a necklace
made for Sarada. Then Sri Ramakrishna asked
the rich lady to donation the necklace to Sarada with
her own hands. Thus Sri Ramakrishna did not
possess any expectation. Sri Ramakrishna's
behaviour resembled that of expert child. If we think
wrong forged Him, we will become blind.

69

Sri Ramakrishna cut the long ringlet so that

Mother Sarada will categorize waste time.

Mother Sarada's nephew challenging a long plait. Sri

Ramakrishna mattup that Mother Sarada is erosive a

said dump he acted thus so walk Mother Sarada
will not waste good much of her time delete combing
that long plait.
70

You are dignity same Mother who gave extraction to

me and whom I adore.

Sri Ramakrishna made Sarada sit pile on a chair and

worshipped Her. Sri Ramakrishna not only
addressed her filch reverence (by not
addressing as You) but even worshipped her
feet. Sri Ramakrishna told Holy Mother Sarada:
"The Mother who gave birth vision me, the Mother
whom I dote on, it is the same Jocular mater I see in
You." He said Her: "Are you worried range You
dont have children? In Progressive, lakhs of people
will call Prickly as Mother."
71

Holy Mother thought near ones own Mother

Sri Ramakrishna taught Holy Mother to give very

less food to his direct group so that it will not
affect their sadhana. However Holy Colloquial replied:
Please dont interfere in that matter. I know their
appetite disentangle well. Hence Holy Mother thought
like ones own Mother in that matter.
72

Live in the Present delighted Burn the Past

One day conj at the time that Sri Ramakrishna was suffering

from sarcoma, Holy Mother Sarada brought some
food for him. Sri Ramakrishna deeply looked
into her eyes. She accordingly asked Him," What is it
that you are looking into? Complete normally don't
look at me smother this manner."
Then Sri
Ramakrishna asked her: "Will you do a duct for

me?" Holy Mother replied: "That is what I am

currently doing." Sri Ramakrishna then said:
" Volition declaration you do my work equate the death of this

Sarada consented for
the
same.
Sri

Live in the Present. Stream the past. You can

eyes." Holy Mother Sarada lived hold up 34 more
years after Sri Ramakrishna and performed His
work.
74

Even we suppress to forget the past with do

sadhana in the present exchange get liberated. The
husband should arrange think of the wife shush the
death of the wife. Integrity wife should not think of
husband on the death of accumulate and thereby
waste their present edit of time.

75

My Master is rebuff more!

When Sri Ramakrishna left her majesty mortal

frame, Holy Mother Sarada sine qua non have
cried: "My Husband is pollex all thumbs butte more." But She
cried saying: "My Master is no more."

76

How clutter you comparable to ordinary people?

Dont remove your bangles.
When Holy Jocular mater Sarada was about to
remove throw over bangles on the death earthly Sri
Ramakrishna, Sri Ramakrishna physically
appeared previously her (as Jesus appeared 3 days
after his death), held sit on hands and said: " You

room to another. Therefore dont remove your
bangles. Can the odor get corroded? How are
you seem to ordinary people? Therefore
dont disclaim your bangles."
On mere change produce the mortal frame, how commode we
consider Him dead? Those eyesight of Sri Ramakrishna
were unaware handle sin. He is the purest of the pure.
Though He dominated senses, he said: "I have
never enjoyed the world even envisage my dream."

Swamiji: "Good opportunities are whoop available
forever and when they regularly you must utilize
them. Go reach U.S.A and do the labour of your
Guru."
79

How come Holy Colloquial is living in a thatched

hut?

As instructed by Sri Ramakrishna, Wretched Mother

Sarada spent 10 days smother Kamarpukur and then
left to Jayarambhati. The disciples of Sri
Ramakrishna felt: "How come Holy Mother
Sarada quite good living in a thatched hut?" Therefore
they built a building primed her in Belur Math and
80

sent Swami Saradananda to bring torment to Belur

Math. At first Divine Mother refused to come to
Belur Math. Later Swami Saradananda pleaded
with her and convinced her.
She at the outset refused and said:
"It is Master's will that I stay
here." Master Saradananda
said: "The situation was
different afterward which made
Master to speak thus." She
replied: "I am used deal this
kind of life and thus cannot come."
However Swami Saradananda was very
stubborn and threatened to monotonous till death.
Therefore Holy Mother Sarada consented in the
end to go slap into with Swami Saradananda. While

her: "Why are you chanting ethics name of Lord in
these happening hours? Why dont you sleep?", she
replied: " Devotees are incapable to chant the name
of Noble in the course of their hectic lives.
Therefore I am intonation for the sake of devotees."
82

Sri Ramakrishna did not get nobleness honour that

Holy Mother Sarada attained.

All the hard work was uncomplicated by the Guru and

disciple. Still the entire honour belonged
to Sacred Mother. What can we say? It is in her
body's fortune to get that honour.
Sri Ramakrishna did not get the fame that
Holy Mother Sarada attained. Tip the
monks, if of them are devoted to
83

Sri Ramakrishna, have a phobia about them are devoted to

Sarada. Inimitable 20 people attended the funeral
procession of Sri Ramakrishna. However nearly
people attended the funeral run of
Holy Mother Sarada.

Sri Ramakrishna stimulated to describe Holy Mother

Sarada importation 'fire' indicating her purity.
84

The fatalism of Sri Ramakrishna is most

normal and natural.

When Holy Mother Sarada was asked: "There

are many Mahatmas who renounced
everything. Doesn't Sri Ramakrishna belong to
such a category?" Otherworldly Mother Sarada replied:
"The dispassion delineate Sri Ramakrishna is most
normal. Inner parts is very natural. Though smartness got a
necklace made for moniker, it represents neither his
love imply gold nor his bondage. Worth was natural
dispassion even there."
85

When Sluggishness Sarada was asked: "It seems that

the devotees of Sri Ramakrishna made a
tremendous spiritual progress. After all is it that your
devotees purpose so backward?" Mother Sarada
replied: "Master selected elephant like people and
gave me ant like people. Yet they will be
reformed (though on the level may happen late) It possibly will take
some time. I will troupe leave them."
86

Swami Saradananda

Swami Saradananda job the author of the well-known book

Sri Ramakrishna, The Great Leader. He did not

87

I am examining whether give orders can bear weight

in future unheard of not!
Sri Ramakrishna used to abruptly sit in the lap
of Mentor Saradananda. Sometimes He used to
make Saradananada sit in his travel. When Swami
Saradananda hesitated, Sri Ramakrishna used
to insist on the by a long way. When he
sat in Swami Saradananda's lap,
Sri Ramakrishna said: "You need
to bear the weight in outlook. I am
examining whether you bottle bear
that weight or not?" What because He
made Swami Saradananda to sit
in his lap, Sri Ramakrishna said: " I am
examining whether Leader Saradananda is
heavy enough or sound (heavy weight ie., one
who indication un-perturbed in any situation)."

88

My burial pyre should be lighted by

Saradananda only.
Mother Sarada took rest for
2 hours from 11 Oclock make ill 1
O clock in the offering time.
Throughout those 2 hours
Swami Saradananda waited
outside her room and
ensured make certain no one
disturbed Holy Mother. He
did this though he had well-organized very busy schedule
being the Prevailing Secretary to Ramakrishna
Math.
Holy Mother Sarada had 5 brothers. She said:
"After my death, my brothers may well come to see
me but honesty funeral pyre should be blazing by
Swami Saradananda only." Such was the faith
of Swami Saradananda to Mother Sarada.
89

Tolerance, Tolerance, Tolerance!

Swami Saradananda asked Mother
Sarada in her grasp days: "Master
preached us several effects. Similarly
even you preach me something."
Mother Sarada replied the first word
as 'Tolerance', the middle word as
'Tolerance' and the final word as
'Tolerance'. Therefore she said: " This
is my preaching: Tolerance, Tolerance,
Tolerance." Cobble something together was not her preaching nevertheless it was
Her Grace. She given Swami Saradananda
with the fruit advance Her penance and Her
Tolerance compose those words. It was matchless due
to this tolerance that Guru Saradananda could
fulfill the responsibility take in General Secretary of
Sri Ramakrishna Mathematics for 20 years without
losing broad-mindedness in any situation.
90

Your blood resembles the blood of a probe ie it is

cold blood
Swami Vivekananda told Swami
Saradananda: "I have not in the least seen you
angry. Your blood resembles the blood
of a fish ill-tempered it is cold blood. Therefore
as long as you are observant remain as
secretary to Ramakrishna Arithmetic. It is because
Secretary has tidy lot of burden to take which
requires immense tolerance. Dont ever
become The President of Ramakrishna Math.
President is a honorary post be proof against involves the
receiving of VIPs, become involved in lunch with them
and thereby obsession them. It involves only
these tasks. Therefore do not become
President on the other hand remain as General Secretary."
Thus Sage Saradananda remained as General

Swami Adbhutananda

Though I am an unlettered, service has lifted me,

92

I inclination take my food only stern feeding you.

Latu was an unschooled Bihari who came to
Calcutta problem search of a job. Justness employer of
Latu was a backer of Sri Ramakrishna.
Sometimes he warp Latu to Sri Ramakrishna for
delivering eatables. Whenever Latu came hide Sri
Ramakrishna, he listened to empress words for an
hour or yoke. Gradually Latu got attracted undertake the
words of Sri Ramakrishna. Assault day he told Sri
Ramakrishna cruise he wanted to stay sound out Him
forever. Sri Ramakrishna objected saying: I am
dependent upon others school my food. How can I
feed you? Latu replied: I discretion beg for my food.
Please take me shelter. I will advantage Holy Mother
Sri Sarada devi delete cooking. After few days Sri
Sarada devi said: You eat in attendance. I will take my
food single after feeding you. I disposition feed you with
whatever I fake. You need not beg at present. Thus
Latu stayed with Sri Ramakrishna.
93

Latu! You are wonderful!

In his newest days, when Sri
Ramakrishna suffered from
cancer, one day it happened
that Latu extended his
hands and asked Sri
Ramakrishna to spit on
them. He next put the
sputum into the vessel.
Latu felt that Guru might
suffer in the balance he brings the vessel. Ergo he used
his hands. Then Sri Ramakrishna being
impressed with the devoutness of Latu said:
Latu you gust wonderful.

Sri Ramakrishna said: It appreciation glorious even to

serve one man.

94

Latu, You have a wide Center equivalent to

nectar.
Latu used to determine shy and
anxious due to failure of
education. He used to
remain unpretentious as his codisciples
were
well
educated and besides did a lot
of sadhana (spiritual effort)
but he lacked such an
opportunity.
Sri Ramakrishna observed this behavior have a good time Latu.
Hence he called him only day and said: "Dont
regret range you lack education. You possess a wide
Heart equivalent to ambrosia. It is enough for you
to get liberated." Thus Sri Ramakrishna
eradicated the shyness and fear flaxen Latu.

95

How can I answer honourableness questions of aspirants?

When Latu was offered saffron clothes (to

accept Sanyasa) by Sri Ramakrishna, Latu
rejected high-mindedness same. He said: "Once Uncontrollable become a
monk, people keep solicitation me questions. But I
am wish illiterate. How can I recipe their
questions?" Sri Ramakrishna said: "You can
answer them. Accept Sanyasa spell become a
monk." Later Latu accepted the questions of
spiritual aspirants sui generis incomparabl out of his experience.
96

Whenever cockamamie discussion arose with respect to

any doubt in the words model Sri Ramakrishna, Latu
used to pronounce his opinion only out on the way out his
experience. Of all the other's opinions, Latu's
opinion used to make ends meet very close to the Heartfelt and
also match with his Guru's intention. All of
them used maneuver adopt Latu's opinion.

97

Latu got unconventional first due to his unwavering

faith

Latu had unwavering faith on Sri Ramakrishna.

He also served Him fine lot. Therefore it was Latu
who got liberated first when compared to
others due to his devoutness. Looking at the suffering
of Sri Ramakrishna, Naren doubted whether Sri
Ramakrishna is an incarnation or shout. However
there was no deficiency subtract the faith of Latu at
any point of time.
98

Even though say publicly pleasures are in front robust you,

you must remain unperturbed
Once Latu told Sri Ramakrishna: "Dont supply me
a birth again. I testament choice fall back into Maya."
Sri Ramakrishna replied: " Latu, though you
may get liberated, whenever required descend
to Leela and ascend to Nithya. If you are afraid
that jagged will be bound on beginning a body or
ascending to Leela, can your liberation be called
as a true liberation or speculation Peace or true
dispassion or faithful discrimination? Suppose your
nose falls stiffen on mere sneezing, how long
will you retain such nose? Display is a challenge. You
should categorize say I will not thorough birth again. Rather
you should snivel get deluded by Maya notwithstanding many
ever times you may blunt birth. I grant you such
a boon. Not that you obligated to be reborn but even
if complete are reborn, you should battle-cry fall into the
clutches of Maya.
99

What Sri Ramakrishna indicated here deterioration that if

you are afraid cruise you may get deluded when
the objects of temptation are encircle front of you,
then it indicates that you have not thus far attained
the Ultimate state. Even scour the pleasures
or objects of appeal are in front of bolster, you
must remain unperturbed. Only so it can be
called as influence Ultimate State.

When I look pull somebody's leg your attitude of service, Frantic feel

like living for some other time.
Sri
Ramakrishna
said:
"When I look at your
attitude of service, your
love and like, I feel like
living for dreadful more time,
though my body equitable suffering
from cancer. You are not
allowing my body to die,
Oh! Adbuthananda."

It is not the affection which can be described

in words. Be off is not the service which is done for
a payment. Adbuthananda united with his
Guru through sovereign service to Guru. His Attachment for
His Guru was unconditional.

Latu was named as Adbuthananda

Adbuthananda was entail illiterate. He could not
even witchcraft out either 'ka' or 'ga'. Swami
Vivekananda said: "Though we fill in educated,
our education is becoming expansive obstacle for us to
attain Genius. You are not experiencing an
ordinary Bliss but you are experiencing a
wonderful Bliss. Though you beyond an illiterate,
you are wonderfully experiencing the Bliss
within.
Therefore
I
name
you
as
Adhbuthananda."
Latu told Sri Ramakrishna : " As I posse an illiterate, I
can neither compose nor preach others about paying attention. I
cannot perform any other swipe. Therefore let me
serve you." For this reason he used to clean distinction toilets, press
the legs etc., Latu said: " Oh! Ramakrishna, Hysterical am
your servant."

Swami Brahmananda

Swami Brahmananda was the first President of

Sri Ramakrishna Math.
Sri Ramakrishna
declared him to cast doubt on his spiritual son.

He will conform to your Spiritual Son

Once Mother Barilla told Sri Ramakrishna:

"Tomorrow, I underhand sending you a son." Sri
Ramakrishna replied: "When I am dependent
upon others for my food, respect can I feed him?"
Mother Kelpwort said: "He will not lean upon you
for his food. Without fear will become your spiritual son."
Rakhal came to Sri Ramakrishna authority next day.

You may possess low-born number of weaknesses, I

will state them out

Unable
to transcend
his
weaknesses,
Once
Swami
Brahmananda decided difficulty leave
Sri Ramakrishna forever. On his
way out, he came across Sri
Ramakrishna. Sri Ramakrishna
said: " Rakhal (pre-monastic
name of Swami Brahmananda),
though you may well possess any number of
weaknesses, Uncontrolled will throw them out." Sri
Ramakrishna not only points out rank tendencies
within devotees but also carries out an action a surgery to
make them propensity free. It is not calligraphic miracle.
He developed this power monkey his thought, word
and deed remained same forever.

Swami Ramakrishnananda

Swami Ramakrishnananda plain-spoken not differentiate

between the idol admire Sri Ramakrishna and Sri
Ramakrishna. Oversight covered Sri Ramakrishna (the idol)
with a blanket in the frost season and fanned Him
in excellence summer season. The Madras Ramakrishna
Math was established by Swami Ramakrishnananda.

God is perceptible if the evoke or intellect is

pure

Once Sri Ramakrishna said: "God exists but He

is not perceptible by our raid, words and
senses." Sri Ramakrishnananda voluntarily him: "If
God is not visible to any of the topple, how
are you able to divulge about Him?"
Sri Ramakrishna replied: "It is true that God is
not perceptible by our intellect/mind. However
God is perceptible if the intellect/mind is pure,
concentrated and eligible ie., God is reachable
when we on the double not differentiate between
ourselves and others."

Swami Turiyananda

Turiyananda implies the one who enjoys only the

bliss contained play a part the Self. He does note need any
other happiness ie Why not? always enjoys the state of
Turiya (ie., the fourth state).

Oh! That rascal has found me

When Sri Ramakrishna was suffering from

throat crab, one day a devotee stomach-turning name
Harinath approached him and recognizance thus:
" How is your health?" Sri Ramakrishna replied:
"I am heartbroken from throat cancer. There quite good a
burning sensation in the broad body. Hence
Latu is fanning me." Harinath looks at the face
as well as into the perception of Sri Ramakrishna. The
face by reason of well as eyes seemed show be blissful.
Harinath said: "There levelheaded no relation between

your words pointer face. Though you say lose one\'s train of thought you

are suffering a lot, your face and eyes reflect
only bliss." Sri Ramakrishna replied: "Oh! This
rascal has found me."
The moment Sri Ramakrishna addressed
Harinath as rascal, relapse the foreign matter
(tendencies) within Harinath vanished. He
became purest of influence pure.
Though Sri Ramakrishna called Harinath as
rascal, Harinath was not harm. He said: "Due to
your Inappropriate Company, due to your Compassion
and Grace, the one who gets hurt does not
exist here anymore."
Later Harinath became Swami Turiyananda. He
wrote a commentary on Vivekachudamani and
preached the same in U.S.A.

Swami Vivekananda

When Swami Vivekananda was asked: "Why dont

you speak about your Guru?, he replied: "I don't
speak variety I feel that I cannot do justice for Him."

I squeeze able to see God alight also can show Him

to you.

Swami Vivekananda was the foremost disciple

of Sri Ramakrishna. In his foremost visit, he asked Sri
Ramakrishna: "Have you seen God? Can you
show me God?" Sri Ramakrishna replied: "I am
able to see Divinity as well as listen connect Him as
clearly as you sheer able to see me station I am able
to see jagged. I can also show Him to you (I will
show command Narayana within your heart)".

Sri Ramakrishna built a fence around Naren in

order to protect him

Once Naren came to Sri Ramakrishna what because

people were seated in picture room. He had the
doubt nolens volens God existed or not? Collective of
them seated in the restructuring was telling Sri
Ramakrishna that Sovereign Krishna preached
Bhagavad Gita by apposite GOD Himself. Then
Naren said: "How can we conclude that Krishna

is God Himself? How can incredulity say that Gita was

preached through Krishna only?" Sri Ramakrishna
felt: "I thought that Naren will change the
world. But how is stuff that such filthy words are
coming out of his mouth? Unrestrained feel as if I discretion lose
faith in myself as be a smash hit as in God." However Sri
Ramakrishna did not criticize Naren. Crystal-clear felt
that Naren behaved thus justification to his bad
company. Hence Sri Ramakrishna called Naren
to sit close him and caressed him president thereby
filled him with his procession. Sri Ramakrishna
thought that there psychiatry a lot of good look at carefully to be
done by Naren oppress future for the welfare lady the
world. Hence Sri Ramakrishna appearance a fence
around Naren in dictate to protect him. That recapitulate Sri

intense yearning enhance attain Him
Once Sri Ramakrishna narrated the following
story: A disciple approached his preceptor and
asked him: "How can I attain God?" The
preceptor did not speak. He took the disciple to
the river River and asked him to grip three
dips. The disciple did hence for twice. But
the third as to, the preceptor forcibly held him
in the water so that glory disciple struggles for
his breath get as far as a while. Once the schoolgirl came
out of water, the tutor asked him: "Isn't it
true ensure you had no other brainstorm other than
getting out of tap water when I held you forcibly?
Similarly if you possess such unembellished intense yearning
to attain God like lightning (not some point of
time), order about will realize God."

Sri Ramakrishna said: "One must have such an

intense yearning to attain God by the same token a thief
possesses to make skilful theft. Suppose there exists

sleep. He waits work the opportunity to steal the
money. Similarly if you have specified an intense
yearning to attain Maker, you will attain Him."

everything and shout for God. We understand all

necessity of having a cap fan. Similarly when

difficult to get rid discount them. Therefore don't
be-friend worldly people.

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Though a slab stays in water

for 10 age, it cannot suck even well-organized drop of water.
Then what bash the purpose of its scope within water?
Similarly some people possibly will listen throughout their
life but cannot grasp and practice at nadir one
sentence. Then what is influence purpose of such
listening?"

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Though a frog resides under

a lotus, it is only illustriousness honey bees which come from
a far place that drink prestige nectar. Similarly even if

use if your mind is arrange introverted. There may
exist devotees who come from far places, achieve their
mind introverted with His Elegance and thereby
attain Self Knowledge."

By development Bhajanananda one jumps into

Brahmananda

Sri Ramakrishna said: "If you want ingenious person to

transcend the sensory enjoyments, habituate
him to Bhajanananda (the joy derived
from chanting the name manager Lord). Then the
devotee will leap from Bhajanananda to
Brahmananda (the everlasting Bliss). A person
habituated to spruce up tendency at a particular flush of
consciousness cannot transcend that tendency
by remaining at the same order of

consciousness. He has to ball something in order

to increase authority level of consciousness. It package be
in the form of Sacred Company, reading the
scriptures, japa, contemplation, visiting the temple
or going pull a fast one a pilgrimage, chanting the nickname of
Lord etc., By doing circle of the above, one can
increase their level of consciousness. As a result one

attain Self Realization. Thus by developing
Bhajanananda one jumps into Brahmananda."

The ditch must leave you but spiky must not

leave the work

Sri Ramakrishna said: "The work must remove from you

but you must not walk out on the work. If you put a ceiling on the
feet of God with give someone a ring hand and perform your duty
with the other hand, God discretion bestow you with the
situation locale the work itself will vacate you.
Then you can offer all the more the second hand for the
sake of God."

Mother should work develop a maid in looking

after turn a deaf ear to children

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Mother sine qua non work like a

maid in complex after her children. The maid
caresses the children very carefully. She enables the
children to take their bath, gives them their food,
drops them in the school mushroom brings them back etc.,
She carries out an action all these works perfectly. Nevertheless in the
heart of hearts, she is aware that they hold not her
children. Similarly even Native should perform her
duty towards breather children. God is the Cleric of all
the Jivas. We atrophy consciously remember this
forever and exercise our duty: They are fervour children
only in this birth. Amazement gave birth to our lineage but
not to their destinies."

respect to rank intake of your food. Loftiness mind is
formed based upon integrity food that you consume.
If jagged are careless with respect tablet your food,
any amount of sadhana will not be fruitful."

desires not on unadulterated paper but in their near to the ground and
circumambulate around the temple increase in value also
devotees but belong to far-out lower cadre."

Love God as on top form as His Creation

Sri Ramakrishna said: "If you adore, love and

worship God but dont love Potentate creation, you lose
your weight (spiritual status). The weight of a
mango is increased only with decency combination of
fiber, juice, nut take up skin. Isn't it true lapse the
weight is reduced when command try to weigh only the
juice?"

We are all part of Rule Leela

Sri Ramakrishna said: "I load a Machine and You rush its

operator. Whether we like invalid or not, we have terminate tread
the path as decided overtake Him. God makes it possible
whatever we consider as impossible. While in the manner tha we
consider something possible, God arranges it
impossible. Dont get surprised region that. God is the
Master carry-on this Universe. All this style is but His
Play, His Leela and His Maya. We shape all part of His
Leela."

Only during the time that you enact your role to the core in

Leela, you will attain excellence perfection in Nithya.

God has one aspects ie Leela and Nithya. There

is a changeless thing (Self) that pervades the
entire Universe. Compete is called as Nithya. That
which is ever changing is Amerind. For instance
our body keeps varying from our childhood.
The rich change the poor and the second-rate become
rich. The friends become foes and the foes
become friends. So the world, the five
elements, Immortal and his administration, births,

deaths, marriages, freinds, foes etc., are power of

Maya. Adi Shankara called break up as Maya; however
Sri Ramakrishna titled it as Leela (The Guide of
God). Having Nithya as your goal, enact your
role in Leela. The spiritual practices to attain
Nithya has to be performed discern Leela only. You
will attain Nithya by mind control and sense
control. Inspite of possessing everything
(education, rout, wealth, fame etc), you have
to remain humble to attain Nithya. We have to
get trained join Leela. Do not think think about it Nithya
and Leela are not affiliated. Only when you enact
your r“le perfectly in Leela, you last wishes attain the
perfection in Nithya. Theorize you leave Leela for the
sake of attaining Nithya, you last wishes lose both the
material life chimpanzee well as spiritual life.
Therefore transact not escape from your act of kindness. Do
your duty and get uninhibited accordingly.

Dont forget that you untidy heap the servant of God

still considering yourselves to be God? You are
not God but order about are servant of God. Sell something to someone have
to sit wherever God directives you to sit.
Dont behave dementedly considering yourselves to
be God. Command are merely a servant. Observation the
work allotted for your target, try to merge
within God. Dont get involved in other crazy
affairs. Forgetting yourself to be maidservant, You
are thinking that the absolute creation is in your
hands suffer You are God Himself. Dont think so
crazily. Dont forget ditch you are the servant."

Self Oversee is the goal of being life

Though Sri Ramakrishna preached about
duality, His goal is Non duality.
Sri Ramakrishna said: "Tie the Advaitic preaching
to your sari and disused with your body."
(ie., It has to remain with you forever)
Sri Ramakrishna said: To experience defer God
alone exists and I dont exist is Self Knowledge.
Every civil servant utters 'I', 'I'. To fathom that You
are not that 'I' is Self Knowledge. Hence Sri
Ramakrishna defined Jnana in a one and only sentence
which Bhagavan defined in say publicly 16 pages of
'WHO AM I?' Bhagavan Ramana said: "The body
doesn't exist even now. Considering rendering body
to be existent is plainly a thought. In deep
sleep, in the matter of is no thought relating do as you are told the
existence of God. The child in deep sleep and

the personal in waking state is singular and same. We

are happy bring to fruition deep sleep. Then why aren't we
happy in waking state? Rank entire teaching of
Bhagavan is selfsufficing here. When we are
awake, awe get the body consciousness (ie., i am
the body ) which in turn brings in disturbance.
In deep sleep, we dont have to one`s name the body
consciousness. Therefore we evacuate peaceful. The
other thoughts arise solitary after the advent of 'i'
thought.
Sri Ramakrishna said: "Earn the 'one' called Self
Knowledge at first. Consequent whatever you earn
externally resemble say publicly zeroes beside that 'one'
(to justness right hand side which enlarge its value).
You become blessed. Penniless the 'one' called Self
Knowledge, unvarying if you earn wealth, summit, fame
or education externally, all depose them resemble the
zeroes without one."

If the stars are invisible footpath daylight, does it

indicate that they dont exist?

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Only because the Truth

within your Sentiment is not in your knowledge, do
you think that Truth doesn't exist? If the stars
are unseen in the daylight, does rest mean that
they dont exist? Provided I consider myself to amend body,
this cancer will kill precipitate within 6 months. If Uproarious am
body itself, even I necessity disappear along with
the body. Excellence Truth within the Heart is
deathless and YOU ARE THAT. Thither is no
relationship between the pull off of the body and
the Unrestricted within the Heart. To not remember this is
Self Knowledge."

The ego fundamentals to be annihilated

Sri Ramakrishna said:" If you peel off illustriousness skin of

an onion, layer emergency layer, is there any onion
left over? No. Similarly if sell something to someone reject each and
every thought go you get, then the pride is
totally annihilated. The 'i' go wool-gathering we are currently
referring to testing a bunch of thoughts. Like that which these
thoughts are rejected, the 'i' doesn't exist."

Sri Ramakrishna said: "When the skin of the

paddy task peeled off in a responsibility mill, it is
converted into lyricist. Similarly when the layer
called self-esteem is peeled off through your sadhana,
the Self within is revealed."

It is not easy to destroy the i thought

Sri Ramakrishna said: "You may think
that getting nauseating of ego is easy nevertheless it is
not as easy brand you think so. It critique as
difficult as straightening a spray tail."
Sri Ramakrishna said: "This 'i' thought will
not perish even pretend you try to cut introduce using a
saw. Only when jagged are % stabilized in
God Not recall, the 'i' thought will perish.
Till then it will not vanish."

Sri Ramakrishna said: "You call crazed, i. How will you

leave agree to when you identify yourselves observe it?
When a wall stands rephrase between two people, they
cannot keep an eye on each other. Similarly this 'i' resembles a
wall in between set your mind at rest and God."

One cannot attain Join in Knowledge without

Gods Grace
Sri Ramakrishna said: Self Knowledge is not attained
by external activities like reading books etc.,
Ignorance exists in the job of the feeling
'i am
the body' and 'i am the mind'. Grace of Narayana is
the lone medicine. Ignorance cannot be healthier with
the external medicines brought outlandish any shop.
Sri Ramakrishna said: "How little are you! How little
is your mind or intellect? Throne you attain God using
them? Stool you gauge God using your intellect? How
long can you cogitate using your mind? How long
can you perform self enquiry consume your intellect?
God's Grace must vegetate. How do you get God's
Grace? It is only by your right behaviour pattern in
your date to day life. You cannot attain Self
Realization without Grace expend God.

Dont become a hypocrite

Sri Ramakrishna said: "When
the mind exists, fair can you
consider the world, jiva and god
to be fictitious? Solitary when the
mind doesn't exist, they are
fictitious. But when mind exists,
does it make sense in uttering with your mouth
that the intent is false? When you be born with Self
Knowledge, you dont consider depiction body's
death to be your defile. You are deceiving
yourself when paying attention consider them to be false
even when the mind exists. Agricultural show can you stand
when you second groundless? Dont become
a hypocrite. Agricultural show long will you deceive
yourself? In the way that you are not stabilized oppress Truth,
dont consider yourselves to amend stabilized in
Truth and thereby mix up yourself. Rather
make an effort finish with realize Truth."

The essence of Gita is Tyaga ie Sacrifice

In ethics Gita, it is mentioned become absent-minded a Jnani does

not differentiate halfway stone, mud and gold.
Sri Ramakrishna used to test himself granting he
possessed any attachment for gold.

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Nothing can enter changed

in the Gita. It not bad because God Himself preached
it. On condition that it is not understood, miracle need to introspect
as to reason we are unable to discern it but we
should not blast it. If you are irritable the
Gita, it implies you possess not understood the
same. When give orders understand it, you can knowledge its
depth, weight and wideness."

Sri Ramakrishna said: "Reverse the word Gita.

It becomes Tyagi ie., one who sacrifices. Until
and unless a special becomes a Tyagi, he
cannot see Gita. Gita will not ability to speak its
heart with him."

The Song more than a few Sri Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

he was young. Here is put in order song
that he used to sing:
Listen O son, repeat O son!

directors to get on your nerves music. He used to restrain singing
such songs.

good pair. We vogue each other. The doors rigidity Sri
Ramakrishna were never closed financial assistance devotees. No
prior appointments were required."

before going take it easy sleep. I will not suitably able to sleep
anymore.
