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 )

264)     “After  attainment  of  God  a  devotee  verily  sees  that  a  woman  is

             but  part  and  parcel  of  the  divine  Mother,  or  calls  the  woman  as

              mother  and  worships  her  as  Divine  Mother”

Thakur himself worshipped his wife (Sadoshi Puja) but it was possible for Thakur only. It is better not to undergo the adventure.

It is fact that every woman is but a prototype of the Divine Mother. They should be so worshipped, but it is better to do so from a distance.

“When I see that some woman keep on sitting in my room and are not showing the least intention to go away, I myself get up and go outside”.

                                                                                                                                  ---Shri Ramkrishna.

265)     “Let  you  come  every  now  and  then, as                                                                    

              I  like  to  get  you  in  my  company  very  much”.

 God always wants a real devotee as there will be a talk about God’s display in the body. Without a real devotee this talk about God’s sportive forms does not come out spontaneously. God does not collect and manifest elsewhere save and except in the body of a real devotee.

266)     “Without  commandment  from  Him  in  Person,

             God  in  others  cannot  be  awakened”.

The man who gets commandment, also gets the power to awaken God in others.

“The Divine Mother showed me that I have many devotees”---Shri Ramkrishna. Even after such commandment, there is a certain class of devotees who keep silence over the matter. No devotee, however, unwilling he may be to play the role of a teacher, is a match to God. God chalks out His own way. He, in the form of the recipient of commandments, i.e., God-the-Preceptor, appears in some real devotees---unknowingly being ready, awaiting the advent of God-the-Preceptor and asks him to go to the teacher. Here the form of the teacher, a living man, and God-the-preceptor are identical.

This devotee who gets the teacher as God-the-Preceptor had no real knowledge of the teacher, may, the teacher is an unknown man to him. Thakur out of his grace has revealed this new method to us.

267)     “God  the  human  form  appears  and  hands  down written

              document  containing  God’s  commandment”.

God-the-bliss, assumes the human form of a very nearest and dearest elderly superior man, such as, father. appears, writes the commandment and shows it to the recipient of the commandment.

There is another class of commandment. God in the body speaks. It is called God’s voice. It is heard distinctly. The voice carries so much solemnity that the recipient understands that he will be compelled to carry out of the order.

268)     “A  man  cannot  discharge  the  hard  duty  of  a teacher  until  and

             unless  he  receives  God’s  power  from  God  in  person”

A man plays the role of a teacher only when God in Descent takes the manikin form (Manus Ratan) in him, otherwise not. In this stage it is seen that God is the doer and author of everything from within. “Divine Mother! Am I talking, or you are speaking out from within through me?’---Shri Ramkrishna, God’s voice must be made human to be understood by human beings.

269)     “It  does  not  lie  in  the  power  of  human  being  to  get  God  released

              from  the  bondage  of  the  body  another  human  being”

 If God out of grace frees Himself from the body then there is liberation”.---Shri Ramkrishna.
