Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 Sri Ramakrishna after having experienced all spiritual truths was living peacefully in the campus of Kali Temple of Dakshineswar. Many seekers after Truth, curious people, lay persons, and devotees used to visit this garden temple. A few of them came to Sri Ramakrishna to seek solutions to intricate problems of Divine and God. One such devotee was Mahendranath Gupta: " M " . We are fortunate that " M " later chronicled " The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna " . But for such reliable documentation many sincere aspirants would have remained oblivious to the subtleties and nuances of spiritual truths and God realization. What were the factors that could change a depressed person " M " into a self confident wise man? " M " was amazed to hear that Sri Ramakrishna did not read any books. Then how could he talk of such great truths! He also found Sri Ramakrishna deeply absorbed within himself, as if unaware of any outside happenings. Sri Ramakrishna was seen to get lost in the thoughts of God/Mother. Later " M " learnt that such divine moods - bhava - were common in the life of Sri Ramakrishna. Even a brief mention or small suggestion of God would bring about such change in Sri Ramakrishna's consciousness. We all know how subsequently " M " continued to visit his Master and became one of the most devoted disciples of Sri Ramakrishna; how the Teacher explained to the sadhaka the intricacies of spiritual world.
