Thakur” when required  as  it is so  done in the  Gospel )

314)                  “The  love of  a  lady  for  her  husband”.

It means to think oneself as a lady and to love God as her husband. The best instance is Radha and Krishna as depicted in the Indian epics.

315)              “The  world  appears like a foreign land where a man is come and

                         sojourning for certain allotted work.  As if, a man has got his own

                         home in a certain village but he works in Calcutta. He sojourns in

                         Calcutta for his work”.

Calcutta---signifies human body. God is confined in the body in an unseen and unattached state. Till liberation of Atma from the body takes place, the body is but a foreign land where there is no divine pleasure. A man is a born seeker of divine pleasure. He seeks pleasure in the outer world. He fails. When God liberates from the body and rise upward in the seventh plane---the village home---he gets taste of divine pleasure. He is satisfied and becomes quite. It is his native village and everything appears full of Eternal Bliss Sat—chit—ananda.

 316)             “If  love  of  God  develops  then  there will be a  complete  annihilation

                        And  evaporation  of  the  attachment  to  the  world  and  the  body”.

This mind is to be withdrawn from the world and it is to be kept confined in the body. Then God out of grace will emanate from the body and attachment of body will get slackened in grade along with liberation of God. But the first and foremost requirement is to get development of love to God and this cannot be had without His grace.

317)          “The slightest trace of bodily existence with olds the manifestation of

  God in the seventh plane and God is not seen”

 God pervades all through and over the body. If in full measure God emanates and gets Himself collected in the seventh plane then God will be seen. Or in other words, if God is seen in the seventh plane then there is an emanation of God in full measure from the body. If a single fibre of the body is in a sullied state then there will not be emanation in full measure and God in the seventh plane will not be seen.

“If there is the slightest defect in a black goat then it cannot be used for sacrificial purpose”.

                                                                                                                              -----Shri  Ramkrishna.

“The man who sees God in the seventh plane is a God’s man and God has made him with His own hands.”

                                                                                                                               -----Shri Ramkrishna.

(318)                   “A  damp match-stick cannot strike fire though a thousand

       times it is rubbed against the match-box”.   

 Match—box----is the human body.

This human body has got head on the top ; in a similar way a match—stick has got combustible ingredients on its top.

Within the head there is the seventh plane and thereon Chaitanya (God in Descent) which flaers up like a brilliant red flame of a Chinese red—flame match—stick.

308)             “Ripe  or  real  devotion”.

This kind of love to God springs up after knowledge of ‘Thou’, accompanies the display of              Descent, and reaches the manikin form (Manus Ratan). If anyone attains this love of God, God Himself gives publicity by making other devotees known about it. This knowledge comes from within the devotees.                     

309)     “Those  devotees  whose  love  of God  is  not  a matured  one  cannot  get  the

          Sportive  forms  or  instructions  as  spoken, expressed  in  or  over their  body”.

It is so with a beginner (Prabartak).

(310)“In  a matured state of love of God,  If anything about God’s sports or any

 special manifestation of God in the body is spoken or heard then that God’s

                    sport or manifestation is realized by the listener in his body”.

It happens with Nitya Siddhas who have got their body along with their birth in such a state that    spontaneous liberation of God takes place in their body, as it is an innate heritage. An example is given below to illuminate the subject.   

There were two friends. The first friend used to say to the second one, “Well, Brahma Vidya, the supreme Cult, can be bestowed on another”. But he did never tell him the method of transfer. The second friend was as sincere devotee of Thakur. He dreamt---‘He was lying flat on his back. His God-the-Preceptor was lying over him on his chest placing face over face and putting in the tongue in the mouth of the seer’. When the second friend related this dream to the first friend, the later was struck with wonder and told him, “Well, this is the process for transfer of Brahma Vidya. It has been manifested in your body spontaneously through the grace of your God-the-Preceptor. In the Gospel of Shri Ramkrishna, Thakur has kept one inkling of it by putting in saliva of his own mouth by his finger into the mouth of a true devotee’.A spontaneous manifestation about the process of transfer of Brahma Vidya took place in the body of the second friend.

 (311)     “If  a photographic plate is not covered with silver nitrate then

                     it  does not retain the image reflected thereon”.

Photograph---means body and plate---is mind.

Covered with silver nitrate---signifies innate heritage of love of God.

In the receptacle like this there occurs a spontaneous manifestation if it is heard from a man who is blessed with all these various aspects of realization.

(312)                 “A  child’s  love  for  his  mother”.

 It means to love God as a child loves his mother. It is called Santan Bhava. It was so with Thakur. He loved God as mother. It is one of the methods to get God expressed in oneself.

(313)               “A mother’s  love  for  her  child”.

It means to love God as a mother loves her child. It is called Vatsalya. It was the instance of Mary and Jesus and it has been so beautifully Painted and shown in several pictures of Europe by several immortal painters. In this way a man may get God manifested in him.
