Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 " The conviction that God is in all objects - that there is Unity in variety - is called Knowledge of Oneness. Knowing Him intimately is Realization...The Absolute is beyond Knowledge and Ignorance, beyond sin and virtue - good works and bad works, cleanliness and uncleanliness - as understood by the limited faculties of man...But how can I make it clear to you? Suppose someone asks you what is the taste of clarified butter. Is it possible to make the matter perfectly clear to him? The utmost that one may say in reply to such a question is, the taste of butter is precisely like the taste of butter!...But there has been as yet in this world no created being who has been able to express in word of mouth the nature of the Absolute...There is unspeakable joy in the company of the Lord. Words of mouth cannot describe it. He alone knows, who has felt it... " Here is a prayer used by Sri Ramakrishna: " From the unreal lead us into the Real. From darkness lead us into light. From death lead us into immortality. Reach us through and through our self, And---Oh, Thou Terrible!---evermore protect us from ignorance, by Thy sweet compassionate Face.
