Sri Ramakrishna Tells How The Devotee Should Behave At The Beginning Of Spiritual Life

[Guest guest]

" At the beginning of spiritual life the devotee should observe such rites

as pilgrimage, putting a string of beads around his neck, and so forth. But

outward ceremonies gradually drop off as he attains the goal, the vision of

God. Then his only activity is the repetition of God's name, and

contemplation and meditation on Him.

 

" The pennies equivalent to sixteen rupees make a great heap. But sixteen

silver coins do not look like such a big amount. Again, the quantity becomes

much smaller when you change the sixteen rupees into one gold mohur. And if

you change the gold into a tiny piece of diamond, people hardly notice it. "
