Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 --\ ---- Noticing the book in Girish's hand, Sri Ramakrishna said to Girish, M., Ram, and the other devotees: " Those people are busy with the world. That is why they set such a high value on worldly life. They are drowned in 'woman and gold'. One doesn't talk that way after realizing God. After enjoying divine bliss, one looks on the world as crow-droppings. At the very outset I utterly renounced everything. Not only did I renounce the company of worldly people, but now and then the company of devotees as well. I noticed that the devotees were dropping dead one by one, and that made my heart writhe with pain. But now I keep one or two of them with me. " --\ ---- Excerpt from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Swami Nikhilananda Pub 1944) Vol 1: The Master's Reminiscences: April 12, 1885 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
