Mother Said

[Guest guest]

Source: " Spiritual talks " ; page 8-9

 

There was a devotee who used to visit the monastery and the Holy Mother

very regularly. But he suddenly stopped visiting. The change seemed

mysterious. Disciple asked Mother the reason of it.

Mother said: " It is due to his past Karma. It has overwhelmed him at

last ... "

" But, " said the disciple, " If everything is according to the will of

God, why then does He not destroy his Karma? "

" Yes, " the Mother rejoined, " He can destroy it, if He wills. But then

just see how even the Master (Sri Ramakrishna) had to suffer the

consequences of his action. His elder brother Ramkumar suffering from

high malignant fever was drinking water. Fearing that water would

aggravate the illness, the Master snatched the glass away from his hand.

This displeased his brother very much. He said, 'just as you have

refused me water now, so shall you be unable to eat anything in your

last days.' The Master said, 'I did it for your good. Why did you curse

me?' His brother began to cry and replied, 'I do not know why this

curse came out of my lips.' This was, however, fulfilled. The Master

had to suffer for his karma. During his last illness, he could scarcely

take anything... "
