She (The Holy Mother) lay down on the bed and gave me a fan, saying, "My child, please fan me a little. The whole body is burning. My salutations to your Calcutta! People come here and lay before me the catalogue of their sorrows. Again there are others who have committed many sinful acts. There are still others who have procreated twenty-five children! They weep because ten of them are dead! Are they human beings? No! They are veritable beasts. No self-control! No restraint! It is therefore that Sri Ramakrishna used to say, One seer of milk mixed with five seers of water! It is so difficult to thicken such milk. My eyes have become swollen by constantly blowing the fire to keep it burning. It is such a hard job to thicken such milk! Where are my sincere children who are ready to renounce everything for God? Let them come to me. Let me talk to them. Otherwise life is so unbearable.' These words are so true. Fan me dear. People have been streaming here today since four o'clock in the afternoon. I cannot bear the misery of people any more.

Namaste!
This is our Daily Sri Ramakrishna Quote:
Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.131
Friday 2/12/11
The Master Said:
"Well, can you explain this state of my mind?
Once I was going from BurdwAn to KAmArpukur in a bullock-cart,
when a great storm arose. Some people gathered near the cart.
My companions said they were robbers. So I began to repeat
the names of God, calling sometimes on KAli,
sometimes on RAma, sometimes on HanumAn.
What do you think of that?"
