Happy Guru Maharaj Jayanti. (the jayanti falls on this

22nd)

 

For a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna the most important

problem of life is the quest for the real Sri

Ramakrishna. A true devotee of Ramakrishna does not

remain satisfied with reading or hearing about his

life and teachings. Making use of the knowledge thus

gained, the devotee tries to seek the Reality of which

this knowledge is only a shadow.

 

The devotee soon finds that this mystic quest is

leading him or her on to the depth of their soul which

is the gateway to the world of the Spirit. It is there

that the real Ramakrishna is to be sought.

 

The real Sri Ramakrishna is unknown but not

unknowable. He can be known only if he reveals

himself. And he reveals himself to sincere aspirants

in the secret depths of their hearts and fulfils the

beginningless yearnings of their souls. Diverse and

mysterious are the ways by which the incarnation

reveals himself to the blessed, and leads them from

the unreal to Real, from darkness to Light, and from

death to Immortality. What even these blessed souls

feel about him has been expressed by Swami

Abhedananda, who was certainly one among them, in the

following verse: “O Lord, I do not know your real

nature. Whatever be the Truth you reveal yourself in,

to That I offer my salutations again and again.”
