Sayings from
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Page 79 .

Once a holy man came to the bank of the Ganges and lived near the bathing ghat at Ariadaha , not far from Dakshineswar .
We thought of paying him a visit. I said to Haladhari.... Krishnakishore and I are going to see a holy man . Will you come with us ?
Haladhari replied.... What is the use of seeing a mere human body , which is not better than a cage of clay ? Haladhari was a student of the Gita and Vedannta philosophy , and therefore referred to the holy man as a mere
Cage of clay . I repeated this to Krishnakishore. With great anger he said ....
How impudent of Haladhari to make such a remark ! How can he redicule as a " Cage of clay " , the body of a man who constantly thinks of God , who meditates on Rama and has renounced all for the sake of the Lord ? Doesn't he know that such a man is the Embodiment of Spirit ?
He was so upset by Haladhari's remarks that he would turn his face away from him whenever he met him in the temple garden.
He stopped speaking to him .
Jai Ramakrishna 🙏
