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 )
217) “The path
of devotion is
for you. It
is the easiest
course”
The seed of devotion is inherent in a man. He is born with
it Spontaneously devotion comes out in a man. It is heredity.
218) “The foremost requirement
after attaining this
human life is to
get more
love and more
devotion for the
lotus-feet of God”
The lotus-feet of God---is at the sixth plane. It is seen
there. If one can fix and keep his mind in the sixth plane then he will be in
continuous touch with divine life with a thrill of beatification.
219) “To fathom the
infinite is not
required”
A man wants to have a plunge in the Mississippi . It is not so required for him
that He is to plunge at the source where Mississippi
rises and to keep on floating till he meets the ocean. All that is required for
him is to get a plunge in any place in the longest course of the Mississippi .
Infinity does not lie in the outside but it is within a
man---the most wonderful and unfathomable creation of God. In the course of the
transformation of life-power into God without form, the form the life-power is
transformed into the geometrical point of Euclid (the great geometrician of the
Greeks) and infinity lies beyond the point. It is a point about which Buddha
spoke while he was interrogated on his death-bed. It is the great ‘Is’ (Asti ) of the Vedas.
220) “Even the
very least attachment
to the sense
to touch with
the body for
which
woman and gold
are concomitant factor’s
of requirement will fail
to yield the
full measure of
God from the
body. So the
man cannot have
the divine sense
that he
is not body
but he is
God”
If a single fibre of the body is damaged and if it be not in
a full-fledged fresh condition then there will be no accumulation of God in
full measure in the cerebrum or the seventh plane. If you want to buy a thing in
full measure of then you have got to pay the cost in ratio. The full measure of
body is between 24 and 25 years of age and the body must be really a strong
built one. He must have full grace of God-the-preceptorbetween12 and 13 years
of age. God-the-preceptor will teach him all the course of transformation of
life-power into God and in course of time the signs of the transformation will
be exhibited in the body as they will penetrate and come out from within to
without. The five sheaths in the body will take their birth in succession and
successive transformations and realizations will come upon spontaneously, then
God in the body will be separated in toto and make you conscious that you are
God and not body.
221)
“Attainment of complete
knowledge is not
for the
‘Kalijuga’ (Lit :
The Iron Age)”
In the present era life is sustained by food, that is, the
body is physically unfit, a weakling. The Supreme Cult(Brahmavidya) is not
meant for a weakling.
222) “The fifth
plane has its
seat in the
throat (in the
precess of transformation of
life-power).
The man
whose mind reaches
the fifth plane
becomes free from ignorance
and animal instincts (anger, lust, etc.). He talks or hears
only about God. If
anybody talks any
worldly affairs before him,
he leaves the
place at once”.
The above is the outward expression of his day’s life. The
realization of the fifth plane runs thus :---
The seer will see himself that his body is transformed into
half-woman and half-man. The lower portion is woman and the upper portion is
man. The condition lasts for two to three minutes. It happens in broad daylight
and the seer sees it. The form is called (Ardhanariswar)---“half-man and half-woman
God”.
There is a second class realization of the form of “half-man
and half-woman God”. The devotee sees the form in the body of his
God-the-preceptor. His God-the-preceptor assumes this half-woman and half-man
form and appears before the devotee.
The first class realization of the “half-man and half-woman
God”comes upon the physical body of the devotee and the second class
realization takes place in the inner body, made of God’s light. Of the devotee.
“The invisible and formless God in the body first assumes
the form of “half-man and half-woman”---Shri Ramkrishna.
