Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.165 Wednesday 10/1/07 The Master Said: " A man can free himself from attachment to 'woman and gold' if, by the grace of God, he cultivates a spirit of strong renunciation. What is this strong renunciation? One who has only a mild spirit of renunciation says, 'Well, all will happen in the course of time; let me now simply repeat the name of God'. But a man possessed of a strong spirit of renunciation feels restless for God, as the mother feels for her own child. A man of strong renunciation seeks nothing but God. He regards the world as a deep well and feels as if he were going to be drowned in it. He looks on his relatives as venomous snakes; he wants to fly away from them. And he goes away. He never thinks, 'Let me first make some arrangement for my family and then I shall think of God'. He has great inward resolution.
