Sri Ramakrishna Daily Sutras

[Guest guest]

" One day, in that state of divine intoxication, I went to the

bathing-ghat on the Ganges at Baranagore. There I saw Jaya Mukherji

repeating the name of God; but his mind was on something else. I went

up and slapped him twice on the cheeks.

 

" At one time Rani Rasmani was staying in the temple garden. She came

to the shrine of the Divine Mother, as she frequently did when I

worshipped Kali, and asked me to sing a song or two. On this occasion,

while I was singing, I noticed she was sorting the flowers for worship

absent-mindedly. At once I slapped her on the cheeks. She became quite

embarrassed and sat there with folded hands.
