Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Dear Friends, In the world we can be compared to the householder and the shrine room. While the householder visits his shrine room, he is full of devotion. He offers some flowers, lights incence, mumbles a short prayer, prostrates himself and comes out to once again be a person of the world. He is a "normal" person if he does so. If he takes his devotion out of the shrine room, he becomes "abnormal". People would wonder what calamity had befallen him that he had turned Godwards. What then is the solution? Internal change. Sri Ramakrishna has advised us to meditate in the mind, in a corner of the room, and in the forest. That is, to keep our spiritual efforts to ourselves and not make a show of it. This is the best attitude to adopt. The article is from Jagannath.. snip.... as the article was long we have offered a shortened version.. jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
