Thought for the Day!!!
The Mother continued, "During the years of his spiritual practices, the Master would shrink through fear at the sight of various objects of temptation; he would shun all these allurements. One day in the Panchavati grove he suddenly saw a boy approaching him. This started him thinking, 'What is this?' Then the Divine Mother explained to him that a shepherd boy of Braja would join him as his spiritual son. When Rakhal came, the Master said, 'My dear shepherd boy has come. Tell me, what's your name?' 'Rakhal,' he replied. The Master remarked, 'Yes, yes, that's right.' This was exactly in keeping with what he saw at the Panchavati grove.

Excellent quote. Thanks for sharing. Here is the Sri Ramakrishna quote for today:
Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.142
Sunday 20/11/11
The Master Said:
"To teach others one must have a badge of authority;
otherwise teaching becomes a mockery.
A man who is himself ignorant starts out to teach others -
like the blind leading the blind ! Instead of doing good,
such teaching does harm. After the realization of God
one obtains an inner vision. Only then can one diagnose
a person's spiritual malady and give instruction."
