Guest guest Posted November 9, 1995 Report Share Posted November 9, 1995 My contacts with you all reminds me of a parable. Sri Ramakrishnaparamahamsa wa a great soul in the last centruy and he taught mostly by parables. He was a Bhakta and did not have childre also. One of his parables runs like this. A great rishi lived near a prostitute's home and was rather concerned about her way of life. He beckoned her and told her that she should change her ways and devote her life to the Lord, just like him. She was touched and she gave up her ways for a few days. Then she reverted back. After a while she passed away and the rishi was watching the disposition of her soul. Yama-dhootas appeared to take her away, but were intercepted byDhrama's messengers and she was carried away toheaven Dharma argued that her actions were outwardly and her thoughts were in the Lord since the Rishi's remarks. I want to stop my story here. I feel like her when I see the Prapatti's dialog. The paables of Ramakrishan are worth reading, because they are very good at making a point.
