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 )
(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.

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 )
(331) “The
light of Knowledge
must be kindled in
the heart
(seventh plane)”.
“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.
The Master
with Shri Amrita,
Shri Trailakya and
other Brahma
devotees
At the
Dakshineswar Temple
Thursday, March
29, 1883.
(Chapter V111
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.
