Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna One must be careful about these few things. First, an influential man who has much money and many men under his control. He can injure you if he wants; you must be careful while talking to him; perhaps you may have to approve what he says. Second, a dog. When it chases you or barks at you, you must stand still, talk to it gently, and pacify it. Third, a bull. If it runs after you with lowered horns, you must calm it with a gentle voice. Fourth, a drunkard. If you arouse his anger, he will abuse you, naming fourteen generations of your family. You should say to him: 'Hello uncle! How are you?' Then he will be mightily pleased and sit by you and smoke. - from " The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna " (Abridged Edition): God-Intoxicated State Love, Light and Peace...
