7)     There lives one “ Paramhansa”. Paramhansa  means gender.

The man who attains and realizes God in full measure in the body in accordance with the manifestations and realizations as laid down in the Vedanta is called Paramhasa . According to the Vedas, there are five sheaths. Yes, they are in the body and they are in seen . Life-power (Kundalini) gets itself transformed in each sheath and produces different kinds of manifestations and realizations . It is called Aganm-Ascent . The life-power is rising to the cerebrum .

The God is rising from the body—the milk is being separated from the water . Here water is body and milk is God.

God with form is milk and then transforms Himself into butter (Atma) . The milk in full measure (in the form of cream) is separated from the water and the cream is made into butter . The body and God are separted from each other . This separation is manifested in the body . The head with neck will keep on moving quickly from right to left . There will be a sound like that of a dried betel-nut or a well dried cocoanut in a shell and it will be heard . It is required to ask such a man , if God in him has separated from his body . Before his reply comes, these movements of neck and head will come upon him and it will be seen .It is Brahma Vidya—the Supreme Culture . As soon as the man who has attained this culture will hear this, without any effort on his part, the culture in specific form (as there are other forms), will get itself manifested in his body . It is the manifestation of inner Truth in the physical body .

“ Some people have heard about milk, some people have seen milk and some again have drunk milk and by drinking they have become strong and well-nourished”—Shri Ramkrishna .

‘ To see milk’—is to see God in the body .

‘ To drink milk and thereby to be strong and nourished’—is to be aware of the attributes of God . This man is called Vijnani—that is , a man having k knowledge of the attributes of God . Such a man, endowed with the knowledge and characteristics of the Atma seen in the body is Paramhansa .

8)   “What a nice place ! What a lovable man ! How charming his Words are ! The spot has charmed me .”

The awakened God is in the body of Shri Ramkrishna and has expressed Himself here in divine sweetness.So here, everything is beautiful and everything seems to be charming .

The magnet has attracted a piece of iron and the iron is helpless .

9)  “Alack, books ? No, dear no ! All the world of knowledge is in him.”

This remark is made by Vrinda, maid of this temple, She is in touch with Thakur : so truth is coming out from her .

Books contain knowledge . All the knowledge of the world is in Thakur .

God is in man. The world is in God. The world is conscious but for Divine Consciousness. The very same Divine Consciousness through Thakur .

10)    “It took him (Shri M) aback to hear that Shri Ramkrishna was not a reading man”. Shri, M was a man of English education . 

 The Europeans are of opinion that knowledge comes from without . They analyse the world and thereby want to reach the Truth, Shri M was of the same opinion with them .So he was amazed to hear that Thakur did not read any book .Only by two letters Thakur upsets this opinion of the European scholars .

                   They are Ma (Maw) and Ra (Raa)

                   Ma—means  God .

                   Ra –means the world.

                   God first, then comes the world .

God is seen in the body and the world is seen in the God .It is called Viswarup, or God is in the form of the world or God is the world  The devotee is also in God ; nay, he himself is God .He opens himself up sees world in himself .Here starts the knowledge of Vedanta and this is the first realization when God has separated from and expressed Himself in the body in to-to. God is His own creator and His expression of the Self is His sports .

11)   “Shri M marked that Thakur was becoming absentminded every now and then , Later he came to know that this is called Bhava—transformation to God by part in the body .”

It is called the condition of ‘Ardha Bajhya’ half-man and half-God. God has emanated from the body not in full measure but by half. Its manifestation is visible lengthwise (vertically) in half portion of the body .It appears and it seen in the right side. The face on the right side contorts and looks swollen ; the eyes get closed ; half of the tongue looses its power of speech and hairs on this side of the body stand on their end .

‘Looses all the senses’—means to get fully changed into God (Samadhi)

12)    “Such changes both of mind and body come over Thakur at evening and sometimes he looses all the senses of the outer world.”

A body having no iota of lust in it is a divine one. Thakur’s body was the temple of God as He emanated and manifested there in full measure . His was a divine body .Dusk is the bifercation between day and night . It brings a change in the outer world . So at dusk his divine body had a change as this happened without invocation on his part . Such change takes place in a divine body—a body having no least desire for creature comforts .

‘Looses all the senses’—means to get fully changed into God (Samadhi) .

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 )

1. “ Speechless  stood shri M and kept on looking “

      ( Shri M is the pseudonym of Shri Mahendra Nath Gupta, the author of the Gospel  of Shri Ramkrishna.)

 Everyone looses his voice when God is seen . To loose one’s voice means to get one’s inner-self transformed into God. At the sight of Shri Ramkrishna, Shri M has lost his voice . He, without his knowledge, has become transformed into God : but here it is a meagre sign of inner transformation (Samadhi).

The voice of Ramkrishna has made God get awakened in the body of Shri M Thakur is before the eyes of Shri M and his voice is also heard, so Shri M is speechless .Thakur is God in flesh and blood and a living image of Satchidananda or the Supreme Bliss .

2.    “ As if Sukadev in person were speaking out the process of Manifestation of God in the body”.

Shri Aswini kumar Dutt ( a devotee and patriot of Bengal ) once asked Thakur about Shri Keshab Chandra Sen ( leader of Brahmo Samaj ) . Thakur replied, “He is a God’s man”. The reply announces that there are God’s men . Our Shri M is also God’s man . Along with Avatar comes the retinue of Avatar, Both Shri M and Shri Balaram Bose (a devotee) were seen by Thakur in the company of Shri Chaitanya (the founder of the Vaishnava sect in Bengal and an Avatar) with open eyes .

Shri  M is a God’s man and he is seeing the world with divine eyes . He sees the inner truth and speaks out truth—‘Sukadev in person’. Sukadev was the son of Vyasa. He related the process of the transformation of the lower-self into the Supreme Bliss in the body . He was looked upon as an ideal monk of India. Suka was a living image of manifestation and emanation of God’s knowledge in the body. He was not so by self-assertion but he was so made .

This mythological hero Suka is a perpetual one. It is not true that in days of yore it was so and it cannot come into being again. In the body where God will get Himself in spontaneously manifested in full measure, the very same man will be a Suka-the living image of God’s knowledge and he will relate God’s sport in the body to mankind .

 At the age of eleven, Thakur was on his way to the village Anur. God emanated and manifested Himself in Thakur and Thakur;s inner-self was transformed into God (Samadhi). From the very same day ‘Thakur’s inner-self got converted into another Suka in embryo . This happening in Thakur was a rare one as it exceeded the record of Sukadev .

 It was so recorded in the Purana—the old record—that Suka was twelve years in the womb of his mother. Then he came out .

 At the age of twelve years four months, God’s-the-Preceptor assumes a human form, made of God’s light, appears in the body, gives him His Bliss denoting the whole future life of the devotee in a single word, teaches him the whole process of yoga (Rajyoga), the method of transformation into God, and then disappears

The God is in the body. The man is not aware of Him. He comes out and makes the man conscious of divinity in him. The man sees all these occurrences. Now Suka is born in the body in embryo .

Then commence “Sadhan” or transformation of the innerself  into Supreme Bliss. Innumerable are the conditions and realizations through which the inner-self passes and is transformed till it reaches the void zone where no ego or the last tinge of feeling exists (Brahmajnan). Then Descent follows, God in the body comes down first from cerebrum to throat , then again from cerebrum to the waist and lastly in the form of a manikin ‘Manus Ratan’. This manikin speaks out the process of God’s sport in the body. “Mother, I do not speak but you speak”. –Shri Ramkrishna .

Here God in Thakur has been addressed as mother.

Life of Suka has got only two chapters. The first chapter contains the history of emanation and transformation of God in the body till finally he becomes ‘Manus Ratan’. The second chapter is to relate and transfer his realizations to others. To hear all these narrations from very month of Suka himself produces an off-hand realization and to read these narrations will also render a secondary realization. But these realizations vary. They are conditional and keep in tune with the emanation of God-of course, spontaneous in every case-from the body .

3)  “  The place where all holiness have met .”

      

According to the Vedas, there are seven planes in the body, and according to the Tantra there are six circles (Chakras). These planes and circles are made of God’s light and they look alike save and except the seventh plane about which Tantra is silent .

Tantra is a treatise of self-realisation in the form of Divine Mother and in the end it gets merged into the ultimate reality .But in the process it does not reveal such various forms of manifestations of God as is done in u c Vedas and Vedanta .

These planes or circles are called holy places as God manifests Himself, and by His manifestations they are made holy .

After crossing the sixth plane, Kundalini—the life power—has entered the seventh plane and is transformed into Atma, God . He is seen . All holiness meet there where there is God .

4)   “ In Puri, as if Shri Chaitanya, with Ramananda, Swarup and other  Devotees were talking about the sports of God in the body “.

This is but the second chapter in the life of Suka where God, devotees and God’s sports come together and are spoken of .

5)    “ When once you hear or utter the name of Hari or Rama and hairs on your body stand on end and on your body stand on end and tears roll down …”

God is called by some ‘Hari” and by some ‘Rama’ in India . God and His name—appellation—are one the same. Because God in form (Saguna Brahma) is ultimately transformed into sound (Nad) and also vice versa, God is evoked, remembered and he responds immediately . This response fills your body with a thrill of pleasure. These tears and standing of hairs on their end are but outward manifestations all over the body of the response of God within .

6)   The prayer makes the body work up to emanate God from and in the Body(Gayatri) and this emanation is ultimately turned into sound(Om—Nad)”. Sandhya is evening prayer. It is gross. Gayatri is the innumerable realizations in course of transformations of God in the body till He is finally transformed into sound only. Om is Nad—the last sound. When the sound is penetrated, there remains no consciousness , not only human consciousness but divine consciousness also .
