Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma! Sri Ramakrishna teaches M.--"Do you know the truth? God alone is real and all else unreal. Man, universe, house, children--all these are like the magic of the magician. The magician strikes his hand and says, 'Hi Presto chango! See my magic.' As he opens the lid of the pot one sees so many birds fly into the sky. But the magician alone is real and his magic unreal. It is there now, but not the next moment. Water alone is real; the bubbles appear and disappear in no time. They disappear into water, merge with the water from which they rise. God alone is real. Make an effort to cultivate love for Him and realize Him by any means." Satchitananda Kathy (LIFE OF M. and SRI SRI RAMAKRISHNA KATHAMRITA. p. 86) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
