Thou art.

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma !

 

Sri Ramakrishna :

 

 

Thou art the Veda, the Purana, the Tantra, the Gita,

 

the Gayatri, the Bhagavata, the bhakta and Bhagavan.

 

Tagi, tagi, tagi, tagi.

 

Thou art Brahman, Thou art Shakti;

 

Thou art Purusha, Thou art Prakriti;

 

Thou art virat, Thou art svarata;

 

Thou art Nitya;

 

Thine is the whole lila,

 

Thou art the twenty-four cosmic principles."

 

 

 

SRI SRI RAMAKRISHNA KATHAMRITA. Vol. II., p. 12)

 

 

 

Tagi means renouncer. It is Gita spelled in reverse.

 

Svarata is a Self-illumined soul who illumines others.

 

M.--"In the meantime, early morning arati has started in the temples of Kali

and Radhakanta. Conch shells sound and bells are ringing. The disciples wake up

to see that flowers are being collected from the Kali Temple flower garden for

worship of the gods. The morning sacred music from the Nahabat floats over the

area.

 

Narendra and the other disciples finish their morning ablutions and meet Sri

Ramakrisna, who says to them---'Bhakti, or love of God, is the essence. When you

develop love for Him, discrimination and dispassion come by themselves."
