SAY THIS TO ME ALSO , O LORD! (1)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

     A PRAYER which comes spontaneously from the heart is the best. To our amazement some prayers are answered as soon as we pray. Some others are granted some other time, when least expected but very much needed. We had even forgotten that we had prayed thus. But there are some which are fulfilled not as we would have it but as God deems it fit for us. 

If we study what Thakur said to various bhaktas, we would also pray to Bhagvan Sri Ramakrishna to say that to us what He said to, M., Baburam, Narendra....

Be Gracious, O LORD and say this to me too.

MAHENDRA NATH  GUPTA (M.)

Bitter quarrels among the members of the joint family 

drove sensitive M. to utter despair. 

He left home one night with the idea of ending his life. In the morning, a nephew brought him to the Temple Garden of Dakshineswar. The Master, who divined the mood of despration in M., put  new hope into him by his words of assurance.

YOU SAID THIS TO M. 

"God forbid! Why should you take leave of this world? Do you  not feel blessed by discovering your Guru? By his grace what is beyond all imagination or dreams can be easily achieved!"

At these words the clouds of despair moved away from  the horizon of M.'s mind. Referring to this phase of his life, M. used to say, "Bohold! Where is the resolve to end life, and where the discovery of God."

BE GRACIOUS O LORD AND SAY THIS TO ME,TOO.
