(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as
Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )
(337) “A flattering disciple of
Keshab once told him, “you are the God-consciousness
(Chaitanya)
of this Ironera”. Shri Keshab pointed out me (Thakur), smiled and
said, “Then
who is he?”
It was Shri Keshab Chandra Sen, the leader of
Brahma Samaj in Calcutta, who came to know, of course through Grace
of Thakur, that Thakur was an incarnation of God, as God-consciousness came
down in Descent (Nigam) in Thakur,
God Himself gives publicity about the incarnation of God. He is in every man.
He will take the form of the incarnation of God and appear before the man in
dream, in trance, in meditation, or in an awakened condition and tell him, “Do
you know who I am?”
(338) “As if
Siva (another name of God) has
come out after penetrating
the
earth and
not (the image) set
up by human
hands”.
God out of His own will
expresses and manifests Himself in the human body and not to be obtained by
self-exertion. The question may rise---“What others will do?” The answer is the
life of Jesus and Shri Ramkrishna.Others will lead their lives according to the
instructions as given to them by their (Jusus and Shri Ramkrishna) own lives !.
(339) “Only some
of the birds
have crooked beaks”.
Beak of the
bird---represents Adam’s apple in the throat of a man. Every man has got an
Adam’s apple in his throat. Projecting out of this Adam’s apple is not a good
sign in the process of transformation of life-power. If this Adam’s apple
projects out in the throat then there cannot be emanation of God in full
measure.
“A bird with Adam’s
apple in its throat cannot learn to whistle or to talk”-----Shri Ramkrishna.
(340) “A man with spontaneous of God in
the body (Nitya Siddha) is like a bee
which lights only on
flowers and sips the honey”.
Flower---represents cerebrum, or lotus with
thousand Petals—the seventh plane.
Honey---is the Supreme Bliss comes under such
an easy control of the man with spontaneous emanation of God in the body that
He transforms himself into the Supreme Bliss every now and then, and the turn
of his mind is such that it does not permit him to take part an any mundane
matter.
(341) “A meadow is filled with
paddy. One has got to cross the meadow.
No alternative for him but he has to walk in
a round about way
along the balk”.
Meadow----here represents this human body.
To cross the
meadow---means to go through the body in the process of transformation of the
life power and to reach the seventh plane.
Round about way along
the balk---is spoken about the ritualistic devotion.
The whole metaphor
indicates that a man with ritualistic devotion can hardly expect to get the
life-power transformed into Supreme Bliss .
(342) “There is a village nearby. A
man wants to come there. He takes a boat, launches it
in a winding river and tries to reach there by
this round about way.”
Here also it is spoken
about the ritualistic devotion. It is pointed out that it is like a winding
river-course for going to a village nearby---the seventh plane.
Thakur means to say
that by self-exertion, such as observing spiritual disciplines, there is hardly
any chance for one to get God in him.
(343) “When a man gets his life-power awakened,
then manifestations of God in various
sportive forms
take place and there crops up a love to God as He is the nearest and
dearest kith and
kin; then it becomes, as if, to cross a rice-field from where all
crops have been
harvested. It is a plain field now and one has not to walk on the
balk.One can go in
any direction straight across the field.”
Here it is related to
the condition of the man who gets spontaneous manifestation of God in the body.
(344) “ One has not to row through the winding
river if the country is
flooded deep with water. Then water runs twenty cubits deep
on the field . Let one row his boat
straight.”
It is spoken about
life-power. There are two stages of awakening of life-power.
(1)The first stage is
called awakening of Kundalini or life-power. She has got two aspects. One is
animal aspect and another is divine aspect. As long as life-power runs in the
outside world, it has got animal aspect. But when life-power makes its course
through the body towards the cerebrum or the seventh plane then she gets her
divine aspect.
(2)In the second
stage this life-power within gets nineteen times stronger and mighter than the
first stage. Hence it is called
Mahavayu.
The second condition
is shown in this way : It takes place within the body. The world is lying open
before your very sight. There is a boat on the other end of the world. Within
twinkling of an eye the boat comes arunning to you. She has a straight course
and the stops near you.
It is also manifested
in the body. If one comes in contact with such a man and if you simply ask him,
“Well Sir, have you got your Mahavayu awakened in you?”---before he can answer
you, his abdomen will commence shaking violently in a jumping posture, his body
will be shaking violently in a writhing posture, his head will be moving on the
neck like a pendulum and finally he will go into deep Samadhi. It is the
Supreme Cult ; it will be heard and it will come upon the body in outward
manifestation expressing the condition of inward transformation.

(331) “The

must be kindled in

“The aim of life is to see God
and attain God”.
----Shri Ramkrishna.
God must be collected from the
body. His manifestations must be seen in the seventh plane as shown by
God-the-Preceptor and lastly, He must flare up in the form of consciousness
like a red flame from the stick of a Chinese red-flame match-box (Chaitanya).
The lamp of knowledge is seen
the burn in the body. It is not a metaphor but really it is so seen within…….
Place----Macedonia in
Greece.
Time----Mid-day.
With a lantern in his hand the
Greek philosopher Diogenes was seen walking in front of Alexander the Great.
Alexander was very much surprised and asked, “How is it? It is day-time. But
you have got a burning lamp”! Diogenes answered ; “I am seeking a Real man.”
Diogenes meant to say that he is a Real
Man in whom the lamp of knowledge is seen to burn in his body. He was
looking for such a man of Knowledge.

of the Gospal,
last portion)
(332) “Rakhal, you are
ill, please take a bit of food (dried
cooked rice---three
or four in
number) offered to ‘Jagannath’---the
Lord of the Universe”.
To take 3
or 4 cooked and dried rice in the memory of the Lord of the Universe means to
kate shelter and seek protection from God.
Oh Lord, I
am ill. I take shelter at your hallowed feet. You are all. This illness is your
another aspect. You are in the body and this illness is your one form. Let you
come out in your appeasing form. Please give me your grace, let me have your
mercy. Oh, let you see, what a faithful and loyal servant I am to you! I take
the leavings of food (there 3 o 4 dried rice) partaken of by you. A man need not
be thinking so much. Let him only remember God and God within the body has got
thorough knowledge of you and your doing. If he likes then He gives His grace.
He acts at His pleasure, and His will is law.
(333) “Why this
dress of Ochre
cloth?”
Ocher-cloth dress is not
required to see and attain God. God is in the human body. He out of His grace
emanates and manifests in the body. Some most lucky men, through sheer mercy of
God, can see all these sportive forms of God in his own body. It is not
required to have any charms or signs from the outside. Ochre cloth is an
outward sign. It is a sign that one is trying to get God by self-exertion.
“Who knows what dress or
uniform will help me to get God?” ---Shri
Ramkrishna.
It means that so special dress
or uniform is required to get the grace of God.
Did Thakur were other cloth?
The reply
is in the negative. It was not required. So he did not were it. Thakur is the
ideal of the era. He led an ordinary mean’s life and by doing that he set up an
example that through grace of God. God could not be obtained and not by any
special kind of dress or uniform.
(334) “No fancy
dress can help
one to attain
God”.
On the contrary, it is a kind
of vanity which prompts one to make a parade of special dress to get the grace
of God.
God is for all with all kinds
of dresses.
“Uncle Moon (Moon in Indian
mythology)is everybody’s uncle”----Shri
Ramkrishna.
To get His grace, all that is
required is to pray to Him and the prayer must be inwardly because He is in you
and fully aware of your sincerity.
(335) “Again, there are such
instances that a man may have everything he wants.
But he is absolutely
indifferent to all enjoyments. He weeps alone for Gos
in privacy.
The real renunciation is this one.”
These are the signs where there will be
spontaneous manifestation of God.
(336) “No lie
of any sort
holds any goodness
in it”.
Truth manifests in the body. A man sees his
real and true Self in the body. To see God is to establish truth in life. The man who is on the path of
truth or who has established truth in life cannot play a false game in life.

(322) “Then God
attracts and draws
the mind
as a
magnet attracts and
draws a needle”.
(323) “Then
comes ‘Samadhi’ and ‘God
is seen’.
Samadhi---is one sense means
transformation of life—power into God within the body.
First comes Unamana Samadhi.
The life—power is transformed into a point made of God’s light at the middle of
the two eye—brows. The scattered mind is collected, changed into a point and
located between the two eye—brows. Then the mind enters into the seventh plane,
takes the form of Atma and God i
(324) “You
may exert yourself thousands
of time but
without God’s
grace nothing can be had”.
God can be had by the grace
of God and not by self—exertion.
“Whom God accepts as a
bride, He gives His grace to him and it happens with him”.
It means that it is with
him in whom the life—power automatically is transformed into God. A devotee
terms it as ‘God’s grace.’
(325) “Ego
must be annihilated
in toto”.
With the annihilation of ego there comes a
spontaneous revelation. Ego lessens in course of transformation and revelations
come.
(326) “The egoism
that ‘I am
the Master’
debars one
from seeing God”.
In the course of
transformation of life-power the egoism spontaneously evaporates. One need not
exert himself to obtain this state; on exertion on one’s part can help him to
obtain this disposition. As by God’s grace realizations proceed, so, in that
proportion elimination of egoism goes on.
A man having no egoism is not
conscious of his own state. It happens after obtaining complete and through
Supreme Bliss. When a man becomes a teacher, he comes to understand this state.
He talks about God and finds he is not talking, but God from within is talking
through his organ. Thakur often used to say, “Mother, I do not talk, but you,
from within, talk”.
(327) “The man
who imposes himself
as master,
in
him God does
not easily appear”.
There is no room for two in
the seventh plane. Two does not exist. Only one exist and that one is God. From
one comes two and many.
(328) “God shines like the Sun of Knowledge. A
single ray of
His illuminates the world
with the light of Knowledge.
So one becomes
conscious of ones own state in
comparison with others”.
God within is like the Sun of
Knowledge. ‘I’ am but one of His rays and this ray appears direct from the Sun.
‘I’ and Sun have got direct connection. The sun bears and reveals the Universe.
The Sun, the Universe and ‘I’ are interlinked and have got straight connection.
This is not metaphor. There is no room for any kind of figure of speech here.
It is seen and realized. The first one happens at the entrance to the seventh
plane when the Sun is seen the Universe within God and this is ascribed as the
beginning of special Knowledge about God. What is special Knowledge? What is
God? He who holds the Universe within Him is God. But it is also only one
aspect of God. The Universe is but a reflection in the mirror of ‘I’ .
(329) “In the dark of night the
police-sergeant with a lantern
(lantern of the night-watch) in his hand goes
his rounds.
No one sees his face.”
God is within you. He is witnessing every
bit of your action. Nothing escapes him. But you are not conscious of it by an
iota.
“The light of the lantern
helps the police-sergeant to see everybody face, and all others also can see
one another”
The mind of a man is in the
outside. He is seeing the Universe and all else in the outside. It is God’s
light enabling us to see everything but we are not aware that the light is
coming from within.
(330) “Oh Sir, take pity, turn the light of
Knowledge on your
own face and let me see you for once at
least.
The mind is withdrawn from the
Universe and kept confined in the body. Then
follows realizations of God’s
sportive forms in full measure, of course, by God’s grace, then seeing of the
God (Atma)in the seventh plane; it is succeeded by ‘Supreme Knowledge’; again
it turns into ‘Knowledge of thou’, subsequently follows Descent as in an
incarnation of God or Avatar.
Police—sergeant---represents
God. If God out of His grace reveals Himself in the human body then these
sportive forms of God are seen and realized. Ultimately a man becomes God and
the mystery of the human life is solved.

(319) “ Let your eyes be painted with the
collyrium of excessive divine love, and
then you will be seeing Him”
It is spoken of meditations.
There are two kinds of
meditations :
(1)
Vishnu Dhyan.
(2)
Shiva Dhyan.
In the Vishnu Dhyan a man has got to
fix his mind at the point of the nose. It is for the purpose of seeing God with
form. Of course, it needs a matured condition of meditation when a devotee may
see Karan Sarir of the fourth sheath taking a human form made of God’s light.
A devotee of Buddha will see Buddha; a devotee of Jesus will see Jesus and a
devotee of Shri Ramkrishna will see Shri Ramkrishna. It is God in the body
taking the form according to the prayer of the devotee.
Furthermore, there is a developed
condition of Yoga in this state. It is called Ardha Bajhya---half the mind
within and half the mind outside. Half the mind within is seeing the form of
Jesus in the fourth sheath. It is throwing reflection to the other half of the
mind in the outside. The devotee is continually seeing the form of Jesus
simultaneously both within and without. Of course, it appears only one Jesus.
So at this stage wherever he will cast his eyes he will see Jesus.
In the Shiva Dhyan a devotee has got
to place his mind at the meeting point of two eye—brows on the forehead. It is
meditation of God without form. Ultimately it leads one to the realization of
the five stages of Vedanta---viz.,
(1)
God or Atma
as shown by
God-the-Preceptor.
(2)
The Universe within
God.
(3)
God-the Universe changes
into a Seed.
(4)
The Seed is
transformed into a
Dream.
(5)
In the end
there remains no
Dream and what
remains nobody knows.
(320) “In that case a devotee sees God in both
His aspects, i.e. God with form and
God without form”.
A.
God with form ;------ (i) God-the
Preceptor.
(ii) ‘Bhagavati Tanu’
or Image of God as
Seen in the sixth plane.
(iii) Several images of
gods
and goddesses.
(iv) Lastly, it changes into a
Child---as child Jesus.
B.
God without form;------ (i) To see the sky in meditation.
(ii)
To see the God’s light.
(iii) To see God or Atma in
the
seventh plane.
(iv) Lastly, to get Atma
changed
Into Paramatma which happens only in case of a Mahayogi.
In the human body where God’s
emanation happens in full measure it can be understood that God with form and
God without form are but both aspects of God in the body lying in an unseen and
in an unattached condition.
(321) “One cannot
see God in the
seventh plane
without
purity or inner
mind”.
The mind is lying scattered
all over the world. It is to be drawn up the kept confined within the body.
Then there will be growth of inner mind. The inner mind purifies itself in the
process of transformation and ultimately it turns into pure consciousness. This
pure condition of mind reveals in the realization. A man’s face in the front.
It is seen to have turned towards the back when the back is seen. An amazing
thing happens. The primal force of the body assumes the form of a girl and
keeps on repeating---“Let the face be turned in, let the face be turned in.”
And this is full measure getting the mind within and to have it kept in a pure
condition for ever.
Again, the purity of mind
takes place by parts only. A friend used to take part in the feast of the
funeral ceremony. Another friend of him said, “well, Thakur has warned not to
take parting the feast of the funeral ceremony.” Though warned the first friend
did not take it so seriously. He joined in another feast of the funeral
ceremony. On the next day of the feast he dreamt—‘At the very same place and on
the very same table he was feasting himself with victuals and viands of the
same kind has on the last occasion. An amazing thing was happening. Each and
every kind of viand tasted like that of a fish. The friend was a strict
vegetarian. The taste of fish disgusted him in a degree. He threw out the food
from his mouth.’ This dream has got several kinds of meanings but in one sense
it signifies inner purification of mind. It is but a partial purification of
mind. It brought about a change in the first friend. He stopped taking part in
the feast of the funeral ceremony.

314) “The love of a
lady for her
husband”.
It means to think
oneself as a lady and to love God as her husband. The best instance is Radha
and Krishna as depicted in the Indian epics.
315) “The world
appears like a foreign land where a man is come and
sojourning for certain
allotted work. As if, a man has got his
own

village but he works in Calcutta .
He sojourns in
316) “If love
of God develops
then there will be a complete
annihilation
And evaporation
of the attachment
to the world
and the body”.
This mind is to be
withdrawn from the world and it is to be kept confined in the body. Then God
out of grace will emanate from the body and attachment of body will get
slackened in grade along with liberation of God. But the first and foremost
requirement is to get development of love to God and this cannot be had without
His grace.
317) “The slightest trace of bodily
existence with olds the manifestation of
God in the seventh plane and God is not seen”
God pervades all through and over the body. If
in full measure God emanates and gets Himself collected in the seventh plane
then God will be seen. Or in other words, if God is seen in the seventh plane
then there is an emanation of God in full measure from the body. If a single
fibre of the body is in a sullied state then there will not be emanation in
full measure and God in the seventh plane will not be seen.
“If there is the
slightest defect in a black goat then it cannot be used for sacrificial
purpose”.
-----Shri
Ramkrishna.
“The man who sees
God in the seventh plane is a God’s man and God has made him with His own
hands.”
-----Shri Ramkrishna.
(318) “A damp match-stick cannot strike fire though a
thousand
times it is rubbed against the
match-box”.
Match—box----is the human body.
This human body has
got head on the top ; in a similar way a match—stick has got combustible
ingredients on its top.
Within the head
there is the seventh plane and thereon Chaitanya (God in Descent) which flaers
up like a brilliant red flame of a Chinese red—flame match—stick.

308) “Ripe or
real devotion”.
This kind of love to God springs
up after knowledge of ‘Thou’, accompanies the display of Descent, and reaches the manikin
form (Manus Ratan). If anyone attains this love of God, God Himself gives
publicity by making other devotees known about it. This knowledge comes from
within the devotees.
309) “Those
devotees whose love
of God is not a
matured one cannot
get the
Sportive forms
or instructions as
spoken, expressed in or
over their body”.
It is so with a beginner
(Prabartak).
(310)“In a matured state of love of God, If anything about God’s sports or any
special manifestation of God in the body is
spoken or heard then that God’s
sport or manifestation is
realized by the listener in his body”.
It happens with
Nitya Siddhas who have got their body along with their birth in such a state
that spontaneous liberation of God
takes place in their body, as it is an innate heritage. An example is given
below to illuminate the subject.
There were two
friends. The first friend used to say to the second one, “Well, Brahma Vidya,
the supreme Cult, can be bestowed on another”. But he did never tell him the
method of transfer. The second friend was as sincere devotee of Thakur. He
dreamt---‘He was lying flat on his back. His God-the-Preceptor was lying over
him on his chest placing face over face and putting in the tongue in the mouth
of the seer’. When the second friend related this dream to the first friend,
the later was struck with wonder and told him, “Well, this is the process for
transfer of Brahma Vidya. It has been manifested in your body spontaneously
through the grace of your God-the-Preceptor. In the Gospel of Shri Ramkrishna,
Thakur has kept one inkling of it by putting in saliva of his own mouth by his
finger into the mouth of a true devotee’.A spontaneous manifestation about the
process of transfer of Brahma Vidya took place in the body of the second
friend.
it does not retain the image reflected thereon”.
Photograph---means
body and plate---is mind.
Covered with silver
nitrate---signifies innate heritage of love of God.
In the receptacle
like this there occurs a spontaneous manifestation if it is heard from a man
who is blessed with all these various aspects of realization.
(312) “A child’s
love for his
mother”.
It means to love God as a child loves his
mother. It is called Santan Bhava. It was so with Thakur. He loved God as
mother. It is one of the methods to get God expressed in oneself.
(313) “A mother’s love
for her child”.
It means to love God
as a mother loves her child. It is called Vatsalya. It was the instance of Mary
and Jesus and it has been so beautifully Painted and shown in several pictures
of Europe by several immortal painters. In
this way a man may get God manifested in him.

path of devotion
is the easiest
one”.
True devotion is brought by a man
long with his birth as a heritage . Its spontaneity manifests itself.
292) “It
is an ‘ego’
of a child”
It is ‘I’ in the state of
Paramhansa. It comes after liberation and it speaks only the glory of ‘Thou’.
293) “Yes, ‘servant—I’, or ‘I am a servant to
God’ ‘I am a devotee---this type of egoism;
and it not
faulty; on the contrary,
it aids one
to attain God
in him.”
It is ‘I’ in the course of
transformation of life—power. It is creating devotion and love of God in one’s
body. It is not ‘I’ in the liberated state or ‘I’ to speak the glory of ‘thou’.
294) “If
after attainment of God there
remains a ‘servant—I’, or a devotee—I’,
then that
‘I’, cannot do
the least injury
to others”.
This ‘I’ does not contain the
least animality in him. It is a vidine ‘I’ and it is only to witness God’s
sportive forms and to speak out the joy and beatitudeness of their display.
295) “A
touch of the
philosopher’s stone changes
an iron
sword into
a golden one
and it cannot injure
others”.
Firstly, it needs to be merged in
no-ego-consciousness and to come down in Descent in the knowledge of ‘thou’ and
also in the display of incarnation of God. Then there remains not a single iota
of animality in the body. It becomes a holy receptacle for expressions and
manifestations of God as seen in the photograph of Thakur in standing posture
being transformed into God (Samadhi). It is called turning of the iron sword
into a golden one.
296) “A
boy is not
fastened to either of
these three qualities :
(1)
Sattva—Goodness; (2)
Rajas—activity and (3)
Tamas—inertia”
297) “A
child has got no caste distinction,
nor hatred, nor
Sense of purity
or impurity in
anything”.
In Paramhansa state, the eight
knots located in the waist are cut asunder. It is so seen to happen within the
body. If you attain Paramhansa state, your God-the-preceptor will come to you
but with some
defect in his body and give you a very
sharp weapon. With that weapon you cut asunder the eight knots of
nerves (Astapash) in the waist. At the time you feel a physical sensation in
your waist as
well as in the cerebrum and it is clearly and distinctly understood that some
changes are taking place in the brain.
298) “There
are some who after being transformed into God,
Keep the keep the
‘devotee-1’ or ‘servant-1 and live thereon”
It is Descent.
299) “Even after
attainment of God,
there remains
but a
meager tinge of
‘I’
This is that ‘I’ who sees the
display and ecstatic sports of manikin form (Manus Ratan) of God in him known

The thin silken curtain is removed
and God is shown by God-the-Preceptor in the seventh plane.
283) “If
by the grace
of God-the-Preceptor,
ego vanishes
then a man
sees God”
The consciousness that ‘I-am-He’
springs up in a man and he sees that God and the Universe is within God. All
these happen within him and his vision is confined within. Again, when he opens
his eyes, he finds the Universe before him and it transpires that
God-the-Universe within and outside are but identical.
284) “God

us”.
God is within a man and he carries
God within himself.

More the worldly senses grow, more

anger came out, uplifted
its foot and
showed a kick to
the elephant”
Wealth is another factor keeping a
man in separation from God. Sometimes elephant, i.e., white elephant i.e, mind
hankers after God, but the weight of wealth arrests its upward course.
287) “The
light is seen
within a lantern but
it cannot be
touched”.
It is in the sixth plane that a
lantern, with a light within, it seen.
288) “This
‘ego’ standing between man
and God keeps
them in separation”.
A tripartite distinction has been
drawn here between man, ego and God. It is simply to make the thing clear. They
are but three aspects of the very same thing. When the ego dies, a man is
transformed into God. “The Primal force and the Supreme Self are
identical.”---Shri Ramkrishna.
289) “It
is only one
or two who, by
getting themselves
transformed into
God, can get
rid of ego”.
It is only one man in an era.
Thakur was the sole man in his era.
290) “If
ego is adamant
and not disposed
to leave you
at all, all
right
let the
rascal remain as
a servant to
God”.
This is ego of the sixth plane. It
is here that God with form is first seen and a devotee surrenders himself to his
deity.

RELIGION AND REALIZATION BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET
RELIGION AND REALIZATION

(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as
Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )
276) “A
man’s ego vanishes
with three signs”.
As per Tantra it needs but three
stages of realizations and a man’s ego disappears and disappears for good. They
are:
(i) To
see God with
form.
(ii) To
witness the sportive
forms of in
the seventh plane.
(iii) Lastly
to merge into
the Great Cause.
As per Vedas,
three signs are :---
(i) Knowledge, (ii) Knowable,
(iii) Knower. [Jana-Jyayo-Jnata - the
Triputi (Three in one) condition]
God-the-Preceptor is Knowledge in
person; God is the Knowable Object (Ishwar
Bastu Lit; God—the Object); and
Knower is consciousness. It comprises and comprehends seeing of God in the
seventh plane as showed by God-the-Preceptor.
277) “A
man without God’s
commandment cannot get
God freed
from the body
of his disciples.”
A man can never play the role of a
preceptor---Shri Ramkrishna.
If a man accepts any other man as
a preceptor then that man will never be liberated from the bondage of body. The
man who was got God’s commandment will appear as God-the-Preceptor within the
body of a true devotee and teaches him all the processes of transformation of
the life-power into the Supreme Bliss—the whole course of Rajayoga.
278) “This
human body and
the egousm in
the are
but the
causes of bondage (Maya)”.
A man thinks himself that he is
this body of flesh and blood and the egoism in him leads him to the wrong
course of asserting his superiority. Maya, literally, is illusion. It is the
sense the Vedantists ascribe to her. But the whole episode of the mystery of
Maya is solved in the Descent in the incarnation of God (Avatarbad). But
Vedanta has no Descent or the incarnation of God in it. She is identified with
a woman. This Maya has got for stages. They are ‘---
(i) She exists.
(ii) She exists and does not exist both at the
same time.
(iii) She is not in existence.
(iv) She is not in existence but
also exists.
(i) She exists---She is real in her Universal
aspect.
(ii) She exists and does not exist both at the
same time---The continuous changes in the process of the transformation of
life-power as seen with all her various aspects on her way till the evaporates.
(iii) She is not in existence---It is but
extinction of the sense of egoism.
(iv) She is not in existence but
also exists---‘I am not but Thou’ “Thou art the Master. Thou art the Lord”. But
there is a tinge of ego simply to speak out the glory of “Thou”. It is real
love of God (Paka Bhakti) in the Descent.
Maya, in short, is but another
aspect of God in which His various sportive forms get their manifestation and
display. It is Maya which induces one to thank about God and ultimately she
transforms herself into God, thus revealing her own true self as God with
attributes, without attributes, and also in Descent as incarnation of God or
Avatar.
279) “This egoism has
kept everything latent”.
It does not permit the true Self
to get expressions in the form of reality. “When there is one false master
(i.e.,ego) in the store, the real master does not come”.---Shri Ramkrishna.
280) “Every trouble
ends when ‘ego’ dies”.
It is to be merged in the Great
Cause ( Sthita Samadhi). Descent is an extraordinary case and it seldom
happens. It only happens to them who are specially marked for it by God.

RELIGION AND REALIZATION BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET
RELIGION AND REALIZATION
MARCH --1882
Place : - Temple of Dakshineswar
(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as
Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )
270) “He
alone can free a man
from the charm
of illusion (Maya)
as it is
His enchanting
illusion which has
kept the whole
Universe enchanted
with the
most charming enchantment”.
Charming enchantment—is the unman
body—the ego. This body turns in the fourth sheath as causal body. The causal
body in its turn changes and appears as God with form. Then follows God without
form. The Universe is seen within God without form. Then God turns into a seed.
The seed appears as a dream. The dream vanishes and there remains
no-ego-consciousness. Then flashes ‘I-am-not-but-Thou’. This state is
liberation in life (Jibanmukti). Then starts the knowledge of ‘Thou’. God in
the body shows his various sportive forms and these are but various conditions
and stages of “I”. The “Thou” is changed into “I”.
271) “A man’s real religious
life starts after
attainment
Of God-the-Preceptor in
his body”
At the outset God-the-Preceptor ushers in the
body in the process of Descent (Nigam) and stops in the fourth sheath as causal
body. Life-power in embryo at first gets awakened in the body of
God-the-Preceptor. Without the body of God-the-Preceptor, life-power never
awakes, nor she can have an upward motion.
272) “They who
have not attained
God in them”
The attainment of God is firstly
to see God in the seventh plane as shown by God-the-Preceptor and then to have
the life-power transformed into Supreme Bliss.
273) “They who
have not received
God’s commandment”
The man who has received God’s
commandment will appear as God-the-Preceptor to a real devotee. The devotee
must have no previous knowledge of his God-the-Preceptor. The form of
God-the-Preceptor is a real teacher; or in other words, it is God in human
form.
“If you see me in dream to give
you religious instructions then let you know that it is God speaking in human
form”---Shri Ramkrishna. It is but a lower standard of God’s manifestation in
the body as it has sprung up though coming in contact.
274) “The man
who has not
strengthened himself with God’s
power”
The man must have the manikin form
of God (Manus Ratan) in him, otherwise real power of God does not come in a
man.
275) “If
he is a
real good teacher”
It means God-the-Preceptor. God
alone is good. It means Sat(Being) i.e., Asti (Reality).
This Reality appears within the human form of God-the-Preceptor. It is the
appearance of the invisible God without form in the body with form. In the
words of the Vedas it is marking you as His special own.
