Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Namaste all: from the book Ramakrishna, the Nectar of Eternal Bliss, available thru the Devi Mandir. Page 284 Ramakrishna speaks: " It is true that God is infinite. He is as great and as vast as can be, but if He desires, He can dwell in the form of a human. He comes in the form of an avatar, an incarnation of God. You can feel all the attributes of this manifestation of divinity, but you cannot understand it intellectually. You want to see it with your own eyes. You want to assume some of those qualities and practice them in your own life. If you touch the horns of a cow, you've touched the cow. If you touch the foot or the tail, you have still touched the cow. For us the real essence of the cow is in the milk that comes from the udder. In the same way, in order to teach us love and devotion, God comes in the form of an individual human being. ....If you see an incarnation of the divine, then you have seen the divine. " To me, Shree Maa is an avatar. Happy Mother Day Jai Maa Jai Swami vishweshwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
