Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 --\ ---- " The youngsters are now in the stage of sadhana. They are aspirants. For them the only thing now is renunciation. A sannyasi must not look even at the portrait of a woman. I say to them: 'Don't sit beside a woman and talk to her, even if she is a devotee. You may say a word or two to her, standing.' Even a perfect soul must follow this precept for his own protection and also to set an example to others. When women come to me, I too say to them after a few minutes, 'Go-and visit the temples.' If thev don't get up, I myself leave the room. Others will learn from my example --\ ---- Excerpt from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Swami Nikhilananda Pub 1944) Vol 2: At the Star Theatre (I): Friday, September 19, 1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
