sri ramakrishna and spiritul ecstasy....

[Guest guest]

i drink no ordinary wine, but WINE OF EVERLASTING

BLISS, <br>as i repeat my mother KALI'S name. <br>it so

intoxicates my mind that people take me to be drunk!<br>first

my guru gives molasses for the making of the

WINE;<br>my longing is the ferment to transform

it.<br>KNOWLEDGE, the maker of the WINE, prepares it for me

then;<br>and when it is done, my mind inbibes it from the

bottle of the mantra, <br>taking the mother's name to

make it pure.<br>drink of this wine, says ramprasad,

and the four fruits of life are yours. <br><br>from

the gospel of sri ramakrishna

<br>**************************************************<br>the four fruits refer

to the four purusharthas-artha,

kama, dharma and moksha.

<br>**************************************************<br>thanks, dearest

babumoshay, for reminding us of sri

ramakrishna paramahamsa's birthday- dear family, please join

me in offering our salutations to this great saint

of bengal, nay the world. <br><br>sri ramakrishna "

but like the swan are those who think of GOD who pray

day and night to get rid of their attachment to

worldly things and their love for woman anfd gold, who do

not enjoy anything except the nectar of the lotus

feet of the lord, and to whom worldly pleasures taste

bitter. if you put a mixture of milk and water before the

swan, it will leave the water and drink only the milk.

and have not you noticed the gait of a swan? it goes

straight ahead in one direction. so it is with genuine

devotees." <br><br>my sadar pranams to a great

master-sadguru, jagadguru sri sri ramakrishna

paramahamsa!<br><br>"what more, O MASTER, shall i say?<br>thou art my

heart's most precious jewel. <br>the home of everlasting

joy." <br><br>this bee bows to thy lotus feet.

<br><br>love and blessings, gypsy maa
