A true devotee's faith - from Shree Ramakrishna's treasure chest

[Guest guest]

Ramakrishna says:

 

"Once, while going to Kamurpukur, I was overtaken by a storm. I was in

the middle of a big meadow. The place was haunted by robbers. I began

to repeat the names of all the deities: Rama, Krishna and Bhagavathi.

I also repeated the name of Hanuman. I chanted the names of them all.

 

What does that mean? Let me tell you. When the servant is counting out

the money to purchase the supplies, he says, "These pennies for

potatoes, these for eggplants, these for fish." He counts the money

separately, but after the list is completed, he puts the coins

together.

 

Is there anything impossible for faith? And a true devotee has faith

in everything: the formless Reality, God with form, Rama, Krishna and

the Divine Mother."

 

(from Tales and Parables of Ramakrishna)

 

May we all put our coins together and never stop chanting,

 

with love,

Henny
