He had cancer of the throat, and in his last days it became impossible for him even to drink water.<\/p>\n<p>Vivekananda said to him, \u201dBhagwan, can\u2019t you ask God to do you just a little favor? If you simply ask\u00a0 God that at least you should be allowed to eat and drink it is bound to happen. It is becoming too great a suffering for your body \u2013 and not only for your body but for us all. We cannot eat because we know you cannot eat. It has become impossible for us to drink because we know you cannot drink. How can we drink? So if you don\u2019t care about yourself, okay, but think of us \u2013 we are also suffering. Just for our sake close your eyes and say to God, \u2019Do me just a small favor.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramakrishna closed his eyes, opened them and started laughing. He said, \u201dYou fool! If I listen to your advice God will laugh at me. I asked him&#8230;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was his way. He had not asked \u2013 there is nobody to ask \u2013 that was his way. He would not hurt Vivekananda. He closed his eyes, he may have even moved his lips to show Vivekananda that he was praying to God. And then he opened his eyes and he said, \u201dGod laughed at me and he said, \u2019Ramakrishna, you are listening to these fools? You follow their advice? Are they your disciples or are you their disciple? Who is who? You have eaten with this throat for so many years \u2013 can\u2019t you now eat and drink with the throats of your disciples?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201d And Ramakrishna said, \u201dVivekananda, his argument appeals to me. So stop torturing yourself, suffering, because now that I have lost my throat, I have to depend on your throats. Eat as much as you can \u2013 a little more than usual, because a part of it has to go to me. Drink a little more than usual because there will be my share, too. So eat, drink and rejoice, because God has said, \u2019Ramakrishna, you can eat through your disciples\u2019 bodies. Why depend on this body? And this body is gone and rotten!\u2019 \u201d There is a certain invisible unity, an organic unity, between the Master and the disciple.<\/span><\/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":[595,132,163,601],"tags":[617,131,610],"class_list":["post-7285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-god","category-path","category-ramakrishna","category-teachings","tag-cancer","tag-ramakrishna","tag-teaching"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
