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
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
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 .
