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 )

427. “Let you ascend by transformation of Life Power to the bliss to God-consciousness then you shall be getting ineffable joy”.

If by devotion, your Life Power is transformed into God in the path of Ascent, then you shall be blessed with Supreme Bliss and Joy.

428. “Yes, there exists in every man the bliss of God-consciousness; only it is hidden by the veiling and have the veil removed”.

It is spoken of the seventh plane when it is seen by removal of the cover which rolls up like a curtain in a theatre.

“The water of a tank is hidden with a layer of aquatic plants. The wind blows and gets the aquatic plants shifted aside. The water of the tank is seen”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

Life Power rises by penetrating the body in the seventh plane, gets the layer of the cerebrum removed, and the ocean of Bliss of God is seen. It is called seeing the ocean of Satchidananda – the all Blissful aspect of God.

Swami Vivekananda once said to one of his friends, “do you know, why nobody can compete with me? The layer in the form of a curtain of my cerebrum is rolled up”.

429. “The less your attachment is to your body, the more loves of God you will get in you”.

The more, the liberation of God from the body, the quicker He will make His way to the seventh plane. It is Yearning for God. It is a yogic aspect and it has its own bliss which is felt by every devotee.

430. “The more Sreemati was advancing towards Sri Krishna, the more she was smelling the sweet fragrance of Krishna’s body”.

Sreemati and Sri Krishna – were the heroine and hero of Bhagavat – an epic.

Sreemati – represents this body and ultimately Life Power.

Sri Krishna – is Atman – God.

She was advancing – means her Life Power was being transformed into sheaths. According to the Vedas there are five sheaths and according to the Tantras there are four sheaths. The realizations as laid down in the Vedas are deeper and superior to Tantra.

The sweet fragrance of Krishna’s body – means the various kinds of realizations; not only that, but fix your eyes on the tip of your nose and you may have a sweet fragrance coming out from within yourself. Furthermore God-the-Preceptor sometimes appears with an amazing sweet smell.

Here, Life Power is being transformed into God and in the course of transformation various kinds of realizations are made, such as – (i) to see that every bit of the Universe is smeared with God’s Light, (ii) to see the half-man and half-woman body, (iii) to see the eye of wisdom opened, (iv) to see the exquisitely beautiful dancing lady, (v) to see God in the seventh plane.
