Thought for the Day!!!
Another day at Jayrambati, the Mother said, "I have to face much hardship, you see, all through the day. Devotees come every minute, one batch following another. There is no end to this. This body of mine is almost at the breaking point. Praying to the Master I have somehow fixed my mind on Radhu and thus kept it on the "worldly plane."
It struck me that this was parallel to Sri Ramakrishna's keeping his lofty mind on the worldly plane by clinging to such desires as "I shall drink water" or "I shall smoke."
Was not the Mother bearing so much trouble for the good of the many?

Namaste!
This is our Daily Sri Ramakrishna Quote:
Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.129
Thursday 1/12/11
The Master Said:
"GangAmAyi became very fond of me in VrindAvan.
She was an old woman who lived all alone in a hut
near the Nidhuvan. Referring to my spiritual condition
and ecstasy, she said, 'He is the very embodiment of RAdhA.'
She addressed me as 'DulAli'. When with her, I used to forget
my food and drink, my bath, and all thought of going home.
On some days Hriday used to bring food from home and feed me.
GangAmAyi also would serve me with food prepared by her own hands.
GangAmAyi used to experience trances. At such times a great crowd
would come to see her. One day, in a state of ecstasy,
she climbed on Hriday's shoulders."
