Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Dear Members, Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna Cultivate a taste for God's name DEVOTEE: " How can I take delight in God's name? " SRI RAMAKRISHNA : " Pray to God with a yearning heart that you may take delight in His name. He will certainly fulfill your heart's desire. " Then the Sri Ramakrishna said: " 'Even for Thy holy name I have no taste.' A typhoid patient has very little chance of recovery if he loses all taste for food; but his life need not be despaired of if he enjoys food even a little. That is why one should cultivate a taste for God's name. Any name will do- Durga, Krishna, or Siva. Then if, through the chanting of the name, one's attachment to God grows day by day, and joy fills the soul, one has nothing to fear. The delirium will certainly disappear; the grace of God will certainly descend.
