Sri Ramakrishna in samadhiSri Ramakrishna said, “…the bhaktas accept all the states of consciousness. They take the waking state to be real also. They don’t think the world to be illusory, like a dream… They say (it)… constitutes His glory. He is within us, in our hearts. Again, He is outside. The most advanced devotees say that He Himself has become all this—the twenty-four cosmic principles, the universe, and all living beings.” — Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, p. 133
This and other examples of the Master’s path of Pure Love are discussed in this talk.
*Swami Prabhavananda is the disciple of Swami Brahmananda (Raja Maharaj). Sri Ramakrishna and Holy Mother said Raja Maharaj was their spiritual son; he served as the first President of the Ramakrishna Order until 1922.
