Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 28 One day, before a disciple, Holy Mother referred to Sri Ramakrishna as Bhagavan, God Himself. The disciple asked: `If the Master is God, then what are you?' `Who else am I?' the Mother replied without any hesitation, `I am Bhagavati, the Divine Mother of the Universe.' A woman devotee asked her: `Why can't we realise that you are the Divine Mother?' The Mother replied, `Can everybody recognise divinity? There lay a big diamond at a bathing place. People thought it was an ordinary stone and rubbed the soles of their feet against it to remove the dry skin. One day a jeweller went there, saw the precious stone, and realised that it was a valuable diamond.' ----------- Extracts from the book : Sri Sarada Devi (A biography in pictures) Advaita Ashrama, Calcutta (http://www.advaitaonline.com/). -- --------------- Email: gokulmuthu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ Phone: +91 80 6689904, 6689938, 6780026-9 +91 80 2384190-3 Ext. 227 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
