Sri Ramakrishna's uniqueness

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am a passive reader of the group. As a devotee of

Sri Ramakrishna, I would like to share his uniqueness

as a Master.

One of his young disciple lived with the master one

day. He was about to leave in the night, but Sri

Ramakrishna told him to stay with him. In the middle

of the night, the disciple woke up to see Sri

Ramakrishna missing. As a common man, he thought that

Sri Ramakrishna might have gone to the nahabat where

Sri Maa stays. He wanted to clarify his doubt, so he

came out of the room and was standing looking towards

the nahabat, expecting to catch the master red handed.

After a while he saw the master coming from the

direction of tree groove, where he answered his

nature's call. Ashamed for his thought, he bent his

head. The master asked him the reason why he was

standing outside the room in the middle of the night.

The disciple was sincere and expressed his doubt to

the master. Instead of getting hurt, the master told

him "that's good!!. You should test your guru not

only in the day but also in the night. Don't feel bad

about it.". The master didn't have even a light trace

of ego in him. He offered everything to Maa Kali and

was a sweet child of hers.

One more experience with the Master: He always

told people to refrain from "woman and gold" i.e.

conquer lust and greed. Swami vivekananda wanted to

see if the master was true to his word or is he

preaching like any other preacher? One day when

several devotees were enjoying conversation with the

master, the master went out of his room for few

minutes. Swami vivekananda, slid a coin under the mat

of the master. The master returned to sit on the mat

and he jumped as if he was bitten by a snake. Nobody

knew the reason, so they removed the mat and searched

it. They found a coin under the mat. The master

explained that that was the reason why he was not able

to sit on the mat and he smiled looking at Swami

vivekananda. How unattached was he to this world. I

bow down again and again to Sri ramakrishna, who is

the best of all avataras of the Lord.

 

Pranams,

Prasad.
