The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna - 12

[Guest guest]

Dear Spiritial Brothers and Sisters,

 

I have extracted few significant teachings (to the

best of my capability) from "The Gospel of Sri

Ramakrishna" (Abridged Edition). Here, I place the

twelfth (last) part - The Master's Love for His

Devotees.

 

 

12. The Master's Love for His Devotees

======================================

 

* Scepticism is a stage in the path of

God-realization. One must pass through stages like

this and go much farther; only thus can one realize

God.

 

* When your mind attains the state in which one sees

God, you will know God to be real.

 

* God cannot be known by reasoning. By faith alone

does one attain everything - knowledge and

super-knowledge. By faith alone can one see God and

become intimate with Him.

 

* One cannot enjoy the Bliss of Brahman unless one

completely rids oneself of attachment to worldly

things.

 

* A man forgets God if he is entangled in the world of

maya through a woman. It is the Mother of the Universe

who has assumed the form of maya, the form of woman.

One who knows this rightly, does not feel like leading

the life of maya in the world. But he who truly

realizes that all women are manifestations of the

Divine Mother, may lead a spiritual life in the world.

Without realizing God, one cannot truly know what a

woman is.

 

* Keep your mind firm on God. He who is a hero lives

with a woman but does not indulge in physical

pleasures.

 

* "Contemplating always the Absolute Brahman" - that

is the characteristic of a yogi.

 

* God dwells in everybody's heart. He is the Inner

Guide.

 

 

I hope that my compilations of gospel have been useful

to dear members in their path for spiritual

enlightenment. I shall be happy to send the pdf file

(including all the 12 parts) to any member asking for

the same.

 

 

Love, Light and Peace...
