Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 --\ ---- MASTER (to Surendra): " Come here every now and then. Nangta used to say that a brass pot must be polished every day; otherwise it gets stained. Une should constantly live in the company of holy men. " The renunciation of 'woman and gold' is for sannyasis. It is not for you. Now and then you should go into solitude and call on God with a yearning heart. Your renunciation should be mental. " Unless a devotee is of the heroic type he cannot pay attention to both God and the world. King Janaka lived a householder's life only after attaining perfection through austerity and prayer. He fenced with two swords, the one of Knowledge and the other of action. " --\ ---- Excerpt from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Swami Nikhilananda Pub 1944) Vol 2: The Master's Birthday: Sunday, February 22, 1885 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
