A day at Dakshineswar

(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )

599. “But we can guess her hand is reaching out to catch the moon”.

Better to read:

“Her movements (the Yogic Vibhutis manifested in and over her body) reveal that she has stretched out her hand for the moon”.

As aspirant through the urge of the awakened Life Power getting transformed into Divinity and this is so described here.

Moon – denotes Bhakti. An aspirant sees the moon in the Chetan Samadhi – the Samadhi attained by a Bhakta.

600. “Humbly says Chandidas, Radha has fallen into Krishna’s trap”.

Radha – causal body.

Krishna – Saguna Brahma. The causal body urges on its march to be transformed into Saguna Brahma.

The yogic form of a Kirtan of Uddhavadasa

601. “Who is the sorcerer that dwells in the Kadamba grove”?

Its reading in the original line:

“How does the sound come? Who is the man that dwells in the kadamba grove”?

Sound – in the sweet musical note of a stringed-instrument the Life Power or Kundalini awakens in some human bodies. The sound is heard. Here Radha hears the note, gets here Life Power awakened suddenly in her, startles and makes inquiry of the musician.

The man – the invisible and unknown God within. God in the body gives His grace and Life Power is awakened in a devotee.
Kadamba grove – this human body.

It is God’s grace alone which awakens Kundalini in a man and Radha has got her Kundalini awakened with the sweet notes of the music.

602. “His flute-notes suddenly enter my ears and strike a chord in my heart”.

The original reading is:

“Alack (I am) taken aback! The flute-notes enter my ears and rest and rest fixedly there”.

Taken aback – without any previous knowledge the Life Power awakens and the joy and wonders of the man know no bound.

Enters my ears – the sweet notes are heard.

Rest fixedly there – the memory bears the sweetness and they flash upon the inward hearing organs yielding a world of bliss. Sri Krishna is depicted in each and every picture with a flute in his hand.

Flute denotes back-bone through which the Life Power rises in the cerebrum. A flute has got 7 holes and there are seven planes in the human body. Sri Krishna with flute in his hand signifies that awakening of the Life Power depends upon the grace of God and it is in His absolute control.

603. “Piercing my very soul, they slay my Dharma and drive me mad”.

Piercing my very soul – the sweet flute-notes have enveloped my heart with such a thrill of joy that it is cherished and enjoyed at every moment of my life.

Slay my Dharma – ritualistic religion is vanished. Yes, when a man gets his Life Power awakened in him all ritualism vanishes.

Drive me mad – yes, just like a moth at the sight of a light in the darkness of night. The Life Power will keep him in a restless condition till Godhood is attained.
