Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 --\ ---- DEVOTEE: " Sir, why has God put us in the world? " MASTER: " The world is the field of action. Through action one acquires knowledge. The guru instructs the disciple to perform certain works and refrain from others. Again, he advises the pupil to perform action without desiring the result. The impurity of the mind is destroyed through the performance of duty. It is like getting rid of a disease by means of medicine, under the instruction of a competent physician --\ ---- Excerpt from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Swami Nikhilananda Pub 1944) Vol 1: The Master's Birthday Celebration at Dakshineswar: Friday, March 9, 1883 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
