Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Can God be found in the Scriptures? After reading the Scriptures, the highest knowledge one can get is about the existence of a God; but God does not appear to him who does not dive below the surface. Until then doubts are not removed and Divine knowledge does not come. You may read thousands of volumes, you may repeat verses and hymns by hundreds, but if you cannot dive into the ocean of Divinity with extreme longing of the soul, you cannot reach God. A scholar may delude the people by his knowledge of the Scriptures and by his book-learning, but through these he will not attain to God. Scriptures, books, sciences, what good will they do? [p. 327] Source: THE GOSPEL OF RAMAKRISHNA Revised by SWAMI ABHEDANANDA -- Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya Prasanth Jalasutram Love And Love Alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
