SURIS SPIRITUAL QUEST

Thursday, April 22, 2021

" Ordinary people do not recognise the advent of an Incarnation of God. He comes in secret. Only a few of His intimate disciples can recognise Him. That Rama was both Brahman Absolute and a perfect Incarnation of God in human form was known only to twelve rishis. The other sages said to Him, 'Rama, we know You only as Dasaratha's son.'

"Can anyone comprehend Brahman, the Indivisible Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute? He alone has attained perfect love of God who, having reached the Absolute, keeps himself in the realm of the Relative in order to enjoy the divine lila. A man can describe the ways and activities of the Queen if he has previously visited her in England. Only then will his description of the Queen be correct. Sages like Bharadvaja adored Rama and said: "O Rama, you are nothing but the Indivisible Satchidananda. You have appeared before us as a human being, but You look like a man because You have shrouded Yourself with Your own maya." These rishis were great devotees of Rama and had supreme love for God."

-Sri Ramakrishna
