FROM THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Sayings from 
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Page 79 . 
03-12-2020 Thursday.

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 🙏

Grateful thanks to
