Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 When studying the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna We become aware that the words Woman and Gold -- Kamini and Kanchan (the literal translation) Are meant as lust and greed. Sri Ramakrishna used to warn women about lust in the same manner as he advised men. We also see a very cutting remark by Sri Ramakrishna when one 'Calcutta babu' who was visiting him had responded to Sri Ramakrishna when asked what he does by saying " eat, drink and have sex " ......... Sri Ramakrishna said: " Very saucy..you belch what you eat.. A crow feels very proud and struts about while standing on filth! This was a very cutting remark....no doubt it applies to all of us who are householders. Ramakrishna advised householders: After the birth of one or two children cultivate a relationship of spiritual companionship and move away from lust.
