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 )

56) .      “There, he is come again”! 

Thakur  said  and  laughed  aloud .

A true devotee is a joy for ever to God, is a devotee is the accommodation for God’s supreme and highest manifestation . “God’s manifestation  takes place in the highest degree in a man :  -  ShriRamkrishna .

57)       “The Peacock felt the need of intoxication of the opium ;  So it came back in usual time to get a dose of the drug”.

It is the force of habit as displayed in the body . It is understood and easily felt when a devotee gets himself well matured in meditation . There is a time fixed by every devotee for meditation . Meditation comes over the devotee in that time spontaneously. The intoxication of the opium—in the inner urge for meditation as felt.

58)     “He (Thakur) is speaking out the facts. At home I think of him continually—when I shall see again when I shall see him continually—when I shall see him again, when I shall see him  again ! Some unseen force draws me up here . I cannot go elsewhere through I may think otherwise ‘ but I have got to come here”.

The magnet is attracting a piece of iron and the piece of iron is sure to come . It is attraction, and this attraction is felt only by those from whose body God will emanate . It is nothing to them from whose body there will be no emanation of God . The thought and longing to see Thakur are making the mind holy and pure . So there is a mental transformation giving birth to purity .

59)     “He is but a bit advanced is age, So he is so grave”:

The age of Shri M (the author of the Gospel of Shri Ramkrishna) was 27 years at the time . He is spoken of as advanced in age by Thakur . Why so ? God does not emanate in full measure in a man of advanced age .

Thakur saw God in his body at the age of eleven . God-the-Preceptor appears in the body between the age of twelve and thirteen and then there will be a full emanation of God . The word ‘grave’ signifies that there will not be a complete manifestation .

60)     “The  youngsters  are  bursting  out with joy”.

The joy of these young people is more in comparison with Shri M. This ‘more joy’ indicates  that there will be a larger emanation of God in the body .

61)     “Just think of  Hanumana’s  disposition in life . He did not want money, honour, fame,

           

Creature—comforts or anything else ; but he longed for God . While he was fleeing with the infallible weapon kept hidden in the crystal pillar, Mandodari (wife of Ravana, the king  of Lanka) tried to tempt him with lovely fruits”.

Hanumana—represents a devotee .

Crystal pillar---is the fourth sheath or the sixth plane where God with human form made of God’s light is first seen . This God with form is changed into Atma—the first condition of God without any form in the seventh plane or in the cerebrum . It is called emanation of God from the body and full measure . This condition of God is the infallible weapon to kill the ego-Ravana . It is the complete separation of God and body .

Mandodari, the wife of Ravana,--is Mahamaya who keeps man in bondage and makes him forgetful of real self .

Fruit—represents temptations and allurements of the world .

62)     “But  nothing  could tempt  Hanumana  to forget  his  great  mission”.

Hanumana could not be tempted as he eas all along protected by God-the-Preceptor from within .

63)    “As  his  picture  is seen  the  photograph “.

In a photo of Thakur, he is seen in a sitting posture with half-closed eyes and motionless body . It means Jara Samadhi . The life power is collected and transformed to a point and the point is that of Euclid’s point .
