Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Namaste, At the end of all His 'sadhanas', when the mission of teaching had to be assumed, Mother Kali commanded Him to stay in 'bhAva samadhi' always. He had experienced all the 'bhAvas', and what came most naturally to Him was that of a 5 year old child [ pa~ncha-varshha-baala-bhaava-yukta as Sw. Virajananda addresses Him in one stotra]. Thus many of His rhetorical questions relate to how a 5 y.o. responds to situations and how Mother responds to those entreaties.

(just like any one us would do). He is then asking us what do you think of that? (Bearing in mind what Sri Ramakrishna is all about) I have to respond to him with : "Very amusing my lord!".
