Sri Ramakrishna with Pundit Shashadhar.
PUNDIT : " What will happen if God dissolves all of the ' I ' , if He changes the enjoyer himself into sugar ? "
MASTER ( smiling ) : " Come , come ! Tell me what is in your mind. But don't the scriptures mention Narada, Sanaka , Sanatana, Sananda and Sanatkumara ?"
PUNDIT : " Yes , sir . They do. "
MASTER : " Though they were Jnanis, yet they kept the ' I ' of the bhakta. Haven't you read the Bhagavata ?"
PUNDIT : " I have read only part of it, not the whole. "
MASTER : " Pray to God. He is full of compassion. Will He not listen to the words of His devotee? He is the Kalpataru. You will get whatever you desire from Him.
" God keeps a little of ' I ' in His devotee even after giving him the Knowledge of Brahman. . That ' I ' is the ' I ' of the devotee, the ' I ' of the jnani. Through that ' I ' the devotee enjoys the infinite play of God.
