Sri Ramakrishna And Narendra

[Guest guest]

On another occasion, Sri Ramakrishna put Narendra(later swami vivekananda)

to a difficult test. He said to him: " As a result of the austerities I have

practised, I have possessed all the supernatural powers for a long time. I

am thinking of asking the Mother to transfer them all to you. She has told

me that you will be able to use them when necessary. What do you say? "

Narendra asked: " Will they help me to realize God? " " No, " said Sri

Ramakrishna, " they won’t help you to do that. But they might be very useful

after you have realized God and when you start doing His work. " Narendra

said: " Then let me realize God first. After that, it will be time enough to

decide if I need them or not. If I accept them now, I may forget God, make

selfish use of them, and thus come to grief. " Sri Ramakrishna was greatly

pleased to see Narendra’s single minded devotion.

Ramakrishna said about him: " Narendra is a great soul – perfect in

meditation. He cuts the veils of maya to pieces with the sword of knowledge.

Inscrutable maya can never bring him under her control. "
