What will you accept ? A ray ?

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Sri Ma !

 

 

 

Sri Ramakrishna-- " Whe one lights a lamp, swarms of moths come to it

 

by themselves--they don't have to be called.

 

Similarly, when one has received the commandment one doesn't have to

 

invite people by announcing that a lecture will be delivered at such and such

 

a time--no news has to be given.

 

He has such attraction that people themselves rally round him.

 

Then princes and babus come there in groups. And they ask again and again,

 

'What will you accept ? I have brought mangoes, sandesh, money, shawl, etc.

 

What will you accept ?'

 

I tell all those people, 'Keep them away. I don't like all this. I don't want

any

 

of these'.

 

Does the magnet invite the iron : 'Come close to me ?' It doesn't have to

say,

 

'Come'--the iron itself runs to the magnet due to the attraction'.

 

 

The Knowledge of a person who has received the commandment is

 

inexhaustible. This Knowledge flows from God.---It is never ending. "

Sri Ramakrishna-- " Even if a single ray comes from the goddess of speech,

 

One attains strength that even the most learned become like earthworms

 

before him. "
