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 )

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.

 (311)     “If  a photographic plate is not covered with silver nitrate then

                     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.
