GSRK-10 MASTER (to the other devotees): Captain forbids me to go - TopicsExpress



          

GSRK-10 MASTER (to the other devotees): Captain forbids me to go to see Keshab. CAPTAIN: But, sir, you act as you will. What can I do? MASTER (sharply): Why shouldnt I go to see Keshab? You feel at ease when you go to the Governor Generals house, and for money at that. Keshab thinks of God and chants His name. Isnt it you who are always saying that God Himself has become the universe and all its living beings? Doesnt God dwell in Keshab also? With these words the Master left the room abruptly and went to the northeast verandah. Captain and the other devotees remained, waiting for his return. M. accompanied the Master to the verandah, where Narendra was talking with Hazra. Sri Ramakrishna knew that Hazra always indulged in dry philosophical discussions. Hazra would say: The world is unreal, like a dream. Worship, food offerings to the Deity, and so forth, are only hallucinations of the mind. The aim of spiritual life is to meditate on ones own real Self. Then he would repeat, I am He. But, with all that, he had a soft corner in his heart for money, material things, and peoples attention. Sri Ramakrishna smiled and said to Hazra and Narendra, Hello! What are you talking about? NARENDRA (smiling): Oh, we are discussing a great many things. They are rather too deep for others. MASTER (with a smile): But Pure Knowledge and Pure Love are one and the same thing. Both lead the aspirants to the same goal. The path of love is much the easier. THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA,CH.13
