Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 --\ ---- MASTER (to Vijay, smiling): " I understand that they have been finding fault with you for mixing with those who believe in God with form. Is that true? He who is a devotee of God must have an understanding that cannot be shaken under any conditions. He must be like the anvil in a blacksmith's shop. It is constantly being struck by the hammer; still it is unshaken. Bad people may abuse you very much and speak ill of you; but you must bear with them all if you sincerely seek God. Isn't it possible to think of God in the midst of the wicked? Just think of the rishis of ancient times. They used to meditate on God in the forest, surrounded on all sides by tigers, bears, and other ferocious beasts. Wicked men have the nature of tigers and bears. They will pursue you to do you an injury --\ ---- Excerpt from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Swami Nikhilananda Pub 1944) Vol 2: The Durga Puja Festival: Friday, September 26, 1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
