Nama Article- 74

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

 

Vijay — But the people who reason in the manner of

Vedanta also attain Him?

 

Sri Ramakrishna — Yes, He can also be attained by the

path of reason. This is known as Jnana Yoga. The path

of reason is very difficult

 

Such a realization is difficult in Kaliyuga. How so

ever much you may reason, the conviction that I am the

body creeps in somehow and shows itself. You may cut

the peepal tree now, you may think that you have

uprooted it but the very next day in the morning you

will see that a new sprout has shot up. The feeling of

the body does not leave you. Thus, the Bhakti Yoga is

good and easy path in the age of Kali.

 

I don’t want to become sugar, I like to eat it. I

never feel like saying, ‘I am Brahman.’ I say, ‘You

are my Bhagavan and I Your servant.’

 

I desire that I shall sing His names and glories. The

attitude of the Master and the servant is very good.

And see, everybody calls the wave of the Ganga, nobody

calls the Ganga of the wave. That ‘I am He’ is not a

good feeling of I-ness. If a person entertains such a

feeling of I-ness while retaining the conviction that

I am the body, it brings great harm to him; he cannot

advance further. He gradually goes down spiritually.

He deceives others and he also deceives himself. He

cannot understand his own state.”
