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 )
124). “All on a sudden one cannot be king Janaka .
In solitude
Janaka had to practice server
austerity.
Janaka was a king of the great
epic Ramayana , In his body God got Himself separated. It was a spontaneous
separation. But Janaka was made to practice austerity in solitude in order to
realize the bliss of depth of God’s manifestation in the body as well as for
setting example to others for practicing austerity, because, everyone cannot be
blessed with spontaneous expression of God in the body . The character of
Janaka is so depicted, as after separation of God from the body a man may live
anywhere.
125). “One may live in the world
but he must go
into
solitude every now and then”.
The environment of everybody life
hurts and hardens the body and it stands on the way of God’s manifestation in a
man . “If milk is kept on a stirring state then there cannot be any cure”--.
Sri Ramkrishna .
It does not permit transformation
of life—power into Supreme Bliss.
126). “On the footpath, a tree when young
must be fenced around
Otherwise it
will be eaten
up by the
stray cow and
goat”.
Footpath---is the world where
there is an uproar of greediness for continuous pleasure though there is no
satiety in it. A man lives therein. “The world is an arena of unquenchable
thirst for pleasure and creature comfort—“.Sri Ramkrishna.
Tree on the footpath---represents
a man’s body with life—power in it.
Life-power (Kundalini) at the
first stage is but a sapling. It grows. It becomes a plant. Finally it becomes
a tree bearing fruits. It is a mango tree. It bears small fruits on the lower
branches and very bigger fruits on the upper ones and one biggest fruit on one
top most branch. It is so seen in the body.
Young---means the initial waking
condition of life-power. It develops, first it comes in the form of a venomous snake
and it is seen in a dream. This very dream takes living form in its own course
of time and is seen in an expressive way to manifest over the body. In the long
run when a man realizes and sees all the sportive forms of God in the five
sheaths of the body, still the life-power is not manifested over the body with
a tangible expression. If in a very matured condition when life-power makes its
way to the seventh plane in five different shapes and the forms of each shape
is manifested over the body and the life-power gets transformed into Supreme
Bliss at beck and call then the blessed man is made aware of the full process
of manifestations with forms and bliss of the life-power in his body.
It can be tested in a very easy
way, if the life-power is awakened in a man . If life-power is awakened in full
measure in a man penetrating the gross physical sheath and manifesting over it,
then all that is required is to ask him. “Well Sir, is it fact that if
life-power in a man is awakened then the life-power is seen to jump like a frog
in his physical sheath?” Before he answers the question it will come upon him
and will be seen in manifestation over his physical sheath. It will be seen
that his abdomen is throbbing, rather rising and falling very quickly and something
in inside perforce is making its way with striking rapidity towards the
cerebrum of the seventh plane expressing such impressions over the body as
easily marked by one and all. Though the man is in a sitting posture he will be
seen as if he is in dance like a frog . The supreme Cult (Brahmavidya) or the
cult through which God is manifested itself over the body. This state in the
physical sheath has been stated as a trunk of a tree.
Fenced around---signifies that the
devotee must keep himself along in solitude for a period of time to pray and
meditate with undivided and undiverted
attention .
Goat---is the symbol of lust.
Cow---that is bull is the symbol
of anger .
127). “At the
first stage , the fence
is an indispensable
rquirement”.
It means to pray in concealment
and solitude.
