"It is extremely difficult to realize God while leading a worldly life. . . one should go into solitude now and then to practise spiritual discipline. . . "There is a sadhu in Hrishikesh who gets up early in the morning and stands near a great waterfall. He looks at it the whole day and says to God: 'Ah, you have done well! Well done! How amazing!' He doesn't practise any other form of japa or austerity. At night he returns to his hut . . . "It is one thing to learn of God from the scriptures, and quite another to see Him. The scriptures only give hints. Therefore to read a great many scriptures is not necessary. It is much better to prey to God in solitude." -- The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, pp. 434, 586, 587 tr. by Swami Nikhilananda, published by: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, New York |
