Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Kumari, What page is this quote from?!!! Twenty-one years ago the following came to me after meditation: To stand naked A soul not shrouded By guilt By fear By Shame This is the thing my God demands of me. Jai Maa, S- , "C. P.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Dear Sadhu Maa, the quote was given by Kumar, but I can answer your question. Ramakrishna makes the statement many times throughout the Gospel. One place is on page 186 in Swami Nikhilananda's unabridged Gospel. I know that because I have a concordance for the Gospel. Ramakrishna (To the devotees): "One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear." He speaks of these as being 3 of the 8 fetters which also include lineage, pride of good conduct, secretiveness, caste, and grief. then, note on page 598: Ramakrishna: "There are eight fetters. One cannot get rid of them all. God keeps one or two so that a man may live in the world and teach others." I haven't found the quote in 'Ramakrishna: The Nectar of Eternal Bliss' although it may be there.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 I am so confused about who Kumar, Kumari and Ty_Maa are? Thanks for the references.
