Her vision dries up all craving for the world and completely destroys all attachment to &#8216;woman and gold&#8217;. It happens instantly if you think of Her as your own mother. She is by no means a godmother. She is your own mother. With a yearning heart persist in your demands on Her. The child holds to the skirt of its mother and begs a penny of her to buy a kite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the mother is gossiping with her friends. At first she refuses to give the penny and says to the child: &#8216;No, you can&#8217;t have it. Your daddy has asked me not to give you money. When he comes home I&#8217;ll ask him about it. You will get into trouble it you play with a kite now.&#8217; The child begins to cry and will not give up his demand. Then the mother says to her friends: &#8216;Excuse me a moment. Let me pacify this child.&#8217; Immediately she unlocks the cash-box with a click and throws the child a penny.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You too must force your demand on the Divine Mother. She will come to you without fail. I once said the same thing to some Sikhs when they visited the temple at Dakshineswar. We were conversing in front of the Kali temple. They said, &#8216;God is compassionate.&#8217; &#8216;Why compassionate?&#8217; I asked. They said, &#8216;Why, revered sir, He constantly looks after us, gives us righteousness and wealth, and provides us with our food.&#8217; &#8216;Suppose&#8217;, I said, &#8216;a man has children. Who will look after them and provide them with food \u2014 their own father, or a man from another village?'&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[607,163,601],"tags":[608,131,603],"class_list":["post-7265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pleasure","category-ramakrishna","category-teachings","tag-craving","tag-ramakrishna","tag-teachings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
