Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Milen Shah <m.shah 18 February 2000 13:17 Ramakrishna Jayanti - 18th Feb 2000 Friends, Today is Ramakrishna Jayanti, the anniversary of one of the greatest saints of Modern India. Sri Ramakrishna's teachings are compiled in the book, "The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna", some extracts of which are below: "The rishis of old attained the Knowledge of Brahman. One cannot have this so long as there is the slightest trace of worldliness. How hard the rishis laboured ! Early in the morning they would go away from the hermitage, and would spend the whole day in solitude, meditating on Brahman. At night they would return to the hermitage and eat a little fruit or roots. They kept their mind aloof from the objects of sight, hearing, touch, and other things of a worldly nature. Only thus did they realize Brahman as their own inner conciousness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
