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 )
249) “Though
an ordinary man is a
victim to the
innumerable troubles
and miseries
of the world,
yet the better
sense in him
does not wake
up”
God does not emanate from the body
of such a callous man.
250) “A
hog plum has
but stone and skin
and hardly any
pulp”
There are some men in whose body
God does not emanate and they never taste the sweetness and beatification of
God’s emanation and disembodiment of Atma from the body. There body is but a
burden of flesh and bones.
251) “The
worm that grows
in filth is
quite cosy and
happy there; but
if it is
removed and
kept in a
pot of pudding,
it dies”
It is exactly the case with some
men who cannot bear the company of holy and pious men. They leave the place at
once if God’s glory is spoken of.
The yogic form of the metaphor
runs thus :----
Worm grows in filth---An ordinary
man’s mind is in the lower part of the body i.e., (a)
organ of evacuation, (b) organ of
generation, and (c) navel.
Pot of
pudding---the seventh plane.
It
dies---An ordinary man (Jivakati) if reaches the cerebrum then he will
die as he won’t be able to come down again. The best example is the death of
young Avimanyu as depicted in the great epic Mahabharata.
252) “It
is only God’s
grace which creates
a keen renunciation
in a man”
There are two kinds of
renunciation. One is attained by self-exertion such as by spiritual discipline,
fasting, keeping oneself confined to a monastery or in a solitary cave of
mountain, etc,; and the other is spontaneous. Even in a case of self-exertion
there is God’s grace, as otherwise such thoughts and action would not have
occurred and come. But in a case where spontaneous renunciation comes, it is
different. This spontaneous renunciation comes of them who have got spontaneous
emanation in their body. The more the emanation of God in the body takes place
the more renunciation is expressed in the outer world. The maximum
manifestations of renunciation were expressed and also seen in the body of
Thakur so far they could be had in the record of the world. If a piece of coin,
even any metal, were placed in his hand, his hand would immediately get
Paralysed. If a woman would come to him then he used to see utter darkness or
his life-power would spontaneously be transformed into formless God within him
i.e., he would be in Samadhi.
253) “There
is a drought
in a certain
place”
There is want of God’s grace
there. In a dream if a man sees to rain, then it is a divine dream and the
shower of rain is the form of God’s grace.
254) “The
Peasantry began to
excavate elongated channel
to
bring water to
the field”.
Channel---represents the hollow in
the backbone as this is the passage of the life-power to the cerebrum or the
seventh plane.
Water---here represent life-power.
