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 )

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

                         home in a certain village but he works in Calcutta. He sojourns in

                         Calcutta for his work”.

Calcutta---signifies human body. God is confined in the body in an unseen and unattached state. Till liberation of Atma from the body takes place, the body is but a foreign land where there is no divine pleasure. A man is a born seeker of divine pleasure. He seeks pleasure in the outer world. He fails. When God liberates from the body and rise upward in the seventh plane---the village home---he gets taste of divine pleasure. He is satisfied and becomes quite. It is his native village and everything appears full of Eternal Bliss Sat—chit—ananda.

 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This mind is to be withdrawn from the world and it is to be kept confined in the body.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.
