Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Excerpt from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Swami Nikhilananda Pub 1944) Vol 1: Advice to Householders: Thursday, August 24, 1882 --\ ---- " But why should God make us run about? " thought M. Immediately Sri Ramakrishna said: " It is His will that we should run about a little. Then it is great fun. God has created the world in play, as it were. This is called Mahamaya, the Great Illusion. Therefore one must take refuge in the Divine Mother, the Cosmic Power Itself. It is She who has bound us with the shackles of illusion. The realization of God is possible only when those shackles are severed. " --\ ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
