Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Om Namah Sivaya Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: " The aspirant does not attain the knowledge of Brahman as long as he is conscious of his ego. The ego comes under one’s control after one has obtained the Knowledge of Brahman and seen God. Otherwise the ego cannot be controlled. It is difficult to catch one’s own shadow. But when the sun is overhead, the shadow is within a few inches of the body. " Tirumantirum (verse 2043): Give Up Nothing;But Sublimate Your Thought Towards God There is nothing, you need give up; The Five senses are organs false That the five craving to meet arose; Reach to Him in your thoughts And praise Him in songs sweet. (Renounce nothing, but sublimate your thoughts and senses towards God. Praise Him and adore Him in sweet music and ecstatic songs. He will direct your inner being to divine destiny.) Tirukural: (127) Whatever you may fail to guard, guard well your tongue, for flawed speech unfailingly invokes anguish and affliction.
