> Wisdom from

> Sri Ramakrishna " How is it ever possible for one man to

> liberate another from the bondage of the world? God alone,

> the Creator of this world-bewitching maya, can save men from

> maya. There is no other refuge but that great Teacher,

> Satchidananda. How is it ever possible for men who have not

> realized God or received His command, and who are not

> strengthened with divine strength, to save others from the

> prison-house of the world? "

 

> An

> Account from the Life of Holy Mother Sri Sarada DeviOnce at

> the time of Durga Puja, the Holy Mother gave me the

> responsibility of buying garments for her nephews and

> nieces. I bought for them all only Swadeshi (India-made)

> clothes. The girls did not like this at all and began to

> order as they pleased. I got irritated and said, " All that

> is foreign stuff. Do you think I will buy foreign goods? "

> The Holy Mother was sitting on one side. She said, smiling,

> " My dear, they too (foreigners) are my children. I have to

> run the house including everybody. Could I be

> one-sided? Please bring the things to suit their

> taste. " Subsequently I observed that whenever any foreign

> articles had to be bought the Holy Mother would get them

> through others rather than tell me. It was not in her nature

> to hurt anyone's feelings... After the Master's passing away

> when nothing in the world had any meaning for Holy Mother

> and She was panting for release, She used to think, 'What is

> the point of my living any more?' In that state suddenly I

> saw a young girl of ten or twelve years dressed in red

> clothes, moving about before me. The Master showed her to me

> and said, 'Take her for support and live. Numberless

> children will come to you.'

> An Account from the Life of Swami

> VivekanandaIn November 1881, Narendra was invited to

> entertain some visitors in a house with his music, where Sri

> Ramakrishna was a guest. When the singing was over, Sri

> Ramakrishna grabbed him by the hand and took him to another

> room, saying " How late you have come! How unkind of you to

> have kept me for so long! My ears are almost seared from

> listening to the cheap talk of worldly people. Oh, how I

> have been yearning to unburden my mind to someone who will

> understand my thought! " Narendra was quite taken aback by

> this display, but asked him " Have you seen God? " . Sri

> Ramakrishna's reply: " Yes, I have seen God. I see him as I

> see you, only more clearly. God can be seen. One can talk to

> him. But who cares for God? People shed torrents of

> tears for their wives, children wealth and property, but who

> weeps for the vision of God? If one cries sincerely for God,

> one can surely see Him " . Narendra could see that these words

> came from the depths of experience; he returned home a

> little bewildered but with peace in his heart.
