Selected Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna 4

 

9.) As the snake is separate from its slough, even so is the Spirit

separate from the body.

 

 

10.) There are three dolls - the first made of salt, and second made of

cloth, and the third of stone. If these dolls are immersed in water, the

first one will become dissolved and lose its form, the second will

absorb a large quantity of water but would retain its form, and the

third will remain impervious to water. The first doll represents the man

who merges his self in the universal and all pervading Self and becomes

one with It; he is the liberated man. The second represents the Bhakta

or the true lover of God, who is full of divine bliss and knowledge. And

the third represents the worldly man who will not admit even a particle

of true knowledge into his heart.
