Re: Aids to our development

Dear Sister Jayanti,

What an amazing and wonderful story you have related.

I'm not at all surprised, that devotees would be
treated with love and respect at the Dakshineswar
Kali Temple. I guess, that I was referring to the average tourist, who may be motivated by curiosity, rather than by respectful understanding and devotion.

Sri Ramakrishna may have arranged for Mother's
gold jewellry, but he certainly never 'handled' either the money to pay for it; nor the gold objects themselves. Simply touching these things would cause Him the pain of an electric shock.

There is an old saying, that when God closes a window, He opens a door. In your case, Sister Jayanti, we can see the Truth in that time-honoured maxim.

Being severely disabled, has enabled you to forgo
consciousness of the body, allowing concentration on the higher spiritual thoughts....and we are indeed benefitting today from that situation.

Om Shanthi Om
