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 )

421. “Sreemanta was a great devotee”.

Sreemanta was also an epical hero. While Sreemanta was his way to Lanka (Now Sri Lanka), he saw that on the sea the Divine Mother was dancing on a big lotus. Sreemanta had no idea that he saw it in him in the seventh plane. He reached Lanka and met the king and promised to show him the dancing lady on the lotus. He brought the king on the sea to show him the sight. But no dancing lady on the lotus was there and for this Sreemanta had to undergo a severe punishment.

Realization made by one cannot be shown to others. This is possible only in case of an Avatar like Thakur.

“God is seen only through the grace of God”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

422. “There was a wood-cutter. He was a great devotee to the Divine Mother. She appeared before the wood-cutter and gave him Her grace and love. But the wood-cutter had nevertheless to carry on his profession of wood-cutting and to earn his livelihood by it”.

The Supreme Cult does not bear any relationship with the ordinary course of life. The physical body, after attainment of the Supreme Cult will remain as it was before. It will feel pleasure and pain as it used to do. One must be earning his honest livelihood. It is only possible for a man without the least tinge of desire that ‘to see God is for the sake of seeing God’ and ‘to attain God is for the sake of attaining God’ only.

423. “A devotee gets the divine perfection and attributes of Knowledge and Devotion and these never part with him”.

The Supreme Cult knows to death. In the body where it is exhibited, it rests and never leaves him.

“The father has taken his own child on his shoulder”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

Here the child has no fear to have a fall.

424. “It is full, so it does not give out any sound, as if, it is like a pitcher filled with water”.

Pitcher – represents human body.

There remains no sound when the Life Power is transformed into God in Samadhi. A man becomes speechless.

425. “Narada and Sukdeva after attainment of Samadhi came down up to the nack”.

Narada and Sukdeva (two ideal men of devotion and knowledge in mythology) had Chetan Samadhi in Descent. They had no control over it. It was so with them as God willed it and hence this Descent. They were not reckoned as Avatars.

426. “No sooner Thakur heard the words ‘blissful joy of Perpetuity’, he was merged in deep Samadhi”.

The words pertaining to the Supreme Cult was heard and at once it was exhibited by manifestations of outward signs on the body of Thakur. This was the test of the Supreme Cult.

Let one speak about the Supreme Cult and if the speaker has attained it, then and there manifestations of the Supreme Cult will come upon him and among the audience if there is anyone who has attained it then these manifestations will come upon him also.
