Guest guest Posted January 9, 2000 Report Share Posted January 9, 2000 ~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~ Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.165 Monday 10/1/00 The Master Said: " A man can free himself from attachment to 'woman and gold' if, by the grace of God, if he cultivates a spirit of strong renunciation. What is this strong renunciation? One who has only a mild spirit of renunciation says, 'Well, all will happen in the course of time; let me now simply repeat the name of God'. But a man possessed of a strong spirit of renunciation feels restless for God, as the mother feels for her own child. A man of strong renunciation seeks nothing but God. He regards the world as a deep well and feels as if he were going to be drowned in it. He looks on his relatives as venomous snakes; he wants to fly away from them. And he goes away. He never thinks, 'Let me first make some arrangement for my family and then I shall think of God'. He has great inward resolution. " om tat sat ~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~ Extrait du Gospel de Sri Ramakrishna p.165 Lundi 10/1/00 Le Maitre A indique: " Un homme peut se liberer de la connexion avec 'la femme et l'or', si, par la grace de Dieu, il cultive un esprit de la renonciation forte. Quelle est cette renonciation forte? Quelqu'un qui a seulement un esprit doux de la renonciation indique, 'bien, tout se produira au cours du temps; laissez-moi maintenant simplement repeter le nom de Dieu'. Mais un homme possede d'un esprit fort de la renonciation se sent agite seulement pour le Dieu, comme la mere se sent pour son propre enfant. Un homme de la renonciation forte ne recherche rien sauf que le Dieu. Il considere le monde comme un puits profond et se sent comme si il allaient etre noyes de dans. Il considere ses parents en tant que des serpents venimeux; il veut voler loin d'eux. Et il part. Il ne pense jamais, 'laissez-moi d'abord faire un certain agencement pour ma famille et apres ca, je penserai a Dieu'. Il a la grande resolution de l'interieur.
