Thought for the Day!!!
"Hazra told the Master, 'Why do you think so much about Narendra, Rakhal and the others? Why don't you immerse your mind in thoughts of God all the time?' The Master said, 'All right, I'll keep my mind immersed in God.' Saying this, he went into Samadhi, and his hair stood on end. He continued in that state for about an hour. Then Ramlal began to utter the names of various gods and goddesses. After he had done this for a long time, the Master regained his bodily consciousness. When his Samadhi had passed, he remarked to Ramlal, 'Did you notice the mental state into which I enter whenever my mind dwells on God? That's why I keep my mind at a lower level by thinking of Narendra and the others.' Ramlal said, 'No, please continue to stay in your own mood.'"

Another excellent quote. Thanks for sharing.
Here is the Sri Ramakrishna quote for today:
Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.142
Monday 21/11/11
The Master Said:
"People speak of doing good to the world.
Is the world such a small thing? And who are you, pray,
to do good to the world? First realize God,
see Him by means of spiritual discipline.
If He imparts power, then you can do good to others, otherwise not."
