SUMMARY:Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna - Monthly Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk from 11 am  (10.30 am: Vedanta Hall open for Meditation) \nTalk by Pravrajika Sridharaprana\nIntroduction by Pravrajika Nityatmaprana\n& Guided Meditation\nNOTE: No Zoom Session Available for this Talk\nIn this Talk:\nChapter 44\nThe Master on Himself and His Experiences\nSeptember 2\, 1885\n  \nMASTER: [SRI RAMAKRISHNA]: “When a thorn enters the sole of your foot you have to get another thorn. You then remove the first thorn with the help of the second Afterwards you throwaway both. Likewise\, after removing the thorn of ignorance with the help of the thorn of knowledge\, you should throwaway the thorns of both knowledge and ignorance. \n“There are signs of Perfect Knowledge. One is that reasoning comes to an end. As I have just said\, the butter sizzles and crackles as long as it is not thoroughly boiled.” \nDoctor: “But can one retain Perfect Knowledge permanently? You say that all is God. Then why have you taken up this profession of a paramahamsa? And why do these people attend on you? Why don’t you keep silent?” \nMASTER (smiling): “Water is water whether it is still or moves or breaks into waves. \nThe story of the “Māhut Narayana” \n“I must tell you something else. Why should I not listen to the ‘mahut Narayana’? The guru had taught his disciple that everything was Narayana. A mad elephant was coming toward the disciple\, but he did not move away since he believed the guru’s words. He thought that the elephant was Narayana. The mahut shouted to him: ‘Get away! Get away!’ But the disciple did not move. The elephant picked him up and threw him to the ground. The disciple was not quite dead; when his face was sprinkled with water he regained consciousness. Being asked why he had not moved away\, he said: ‘why should I? The guru said\, “Everything is Narayana.”‘ ‘But\, my child\,’ said the Guru\, ‘Why didn’t you listen to the words of the mahut Narayana?’ \n“It is God who dwells within as the Pure Mind and Pure Intelligence. I am the machine and He is its Operator. I am the house and He is the Indweller. It is God who is the mahut Narayana.” \nFrom Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna \n  \nThe Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna:  \nThe conversations  between Sri Ramakrishna\, the 19th-century mystic and promoter of interfaith  understanding\, and the brilliant\, questioning minds of Calcutta. In Sri  Ramakrishna\, they came face-to-face with a type of Spirituality and mystical  states they had only read about. Translated from Bengali by Swami Nikhilananda  with the literary help of Margaret Woodrow Wilson\, daughter of President  Woodrow Wilson and Joseph Campbell\, foreword by Aldous Huxley. \n  \nGuided Meditation: Imagine \n Reflecting on Sri Ramakrishna’s Teachings and connecting with your favourite form of God.
