Mother, I cannot concentrate my mind in meditation at all.
Mother: It does not matter much. It will be enough if you look at the picture of the Master [Sri Ramakrishna]. The Master was ill at Kasipur. The young disciples used to attend on him by turn. Gopal also was there. One day instead of serving the Master, he went for meditation. He meditated for a long time. When Girish Babu heard of it, he remarked, 'The one upon whom he is meditating with closed eyes is suffering on a sickbed, and fancy, he is meditating upon him!' Gopal was sent for. The Master asked him to stroke his legs. He said to Gopal, 'Do you think I am asking you to stroke my legs because they are aching? Oh no! In your previous births you did many virtues acts; so I am accepting your service.' Look at the picture of the Master and that will be enough.
