Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 ~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~ Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.125 Saturday 30/10/99 The Master Said: " First of all set up the shrine of God in your heart, and then deliver lectures as much as you like. How will the mere repetition of 'Brahma' profit you if you are not imbued with discrimination and dispassion? It is the empty sound of a conch-shell. " om tat sat ~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~ Namaste all, Sad news....Mohandas Gandhi has dropped to number 9 from number 8, on the Time Magazine, Person of the Century Poll. Some of the names ahead of him include Adolf Hitler and Elvis Presley. I believe, for one, that we would not have an America today [or indeed a free world], if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., had not fully adopted the no-violent methods of Mahatma Gandhi. Anyone of us, who are old enough to remember the days of 'Selma, Alabama', 'Rosa Parks'...and the sad story of the 'Empress of the Blues' Bessie Smith, who died an unnecessary early death, because no 'white' Alabama hospital would treat her....Yes, we remember those days, and realise that the Blacks in America had 'had enough', and were determined to express their inner divinity, come hell or high water. The Divine Mother inspired Dr. King to lead them, and he did his job well, with the help of the PRACTICAL APPLICATION, by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, of the sweet words of our Blezsed Saviour from Folly, Jesus of Nazareth ! That is why we want to see Gandhiji's kind and intelligent face on the cover of Time Magazine ! om shanthi om ____ 123India - India's Premier Search Engine Get your Free Email Account at http://www.123india.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
