FROM THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna 
From 
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Page 346 .

When I first met Keshab at Jayagopal's garden house, I remarked... He is the only one who has dropped his tail .  At this people laughed .  Keshab said to them .... Don't laugh . There must be some meaning in His words . Let us ask Him .
   There upon I said to Keshab .... The tadpole, so long as it has not dropped its tail, it lives only in the water .  It cannot move about on dry land ..  But as soon as it drops its tail, it hops out on the bank... then it can live both on land and in water . 
Likewise, as long as a man has not dropped his tail of ignorance , he can live only in the water of the world .  But when he drops his tail, that's to say  , when he attains The Knowledge of God    then he can roam about as a Free Soul   or live as a householder  
if he likes .

Jai Ramakrishna 🙏

Grateful thanks to
