In plain words
'What did you do?' he said. 'Would I keep quiet? When they abuse my guru, I cannot keep quiet. I gave them a good couple of blows. I tried to throw one into the Ganga,' he said. Ramakrishna: 'Chī! Chī! What you wear is the ochre robe; where you live is an ashram. If you cannot control even this much anger, why should you stay in the ashram? People are crows. They talk as it occurs to them. We should not mind it in the least. When we are sannyāsīs we must stay calm.' Then Narendra, who had once been in the Brahmo Samaj, said, 'Swami! Yesterday you told Brahmānanda one thing. Now you tell me the opposite. Is that true, or is this true?' You madcap! If there is too much air in a tyre, you must let it out. If there is too little, you must pump it in. Brahmānanda has too little air. So I pumped air in. Your temper must come down. One must teach in keeping with the force of circumstances. These teachings are not the same for everyone. They fill only as far as each one's capacity, each one's container, allows. The river Ganga has all the water anyone needs. Water comes only to the size of the vessel each one carries there. You cannot say it is the same for all. On the spiritual path, when each follows discipline according to his strength, God gives them the strength fit for them. If we want to increase our capacity, our discipline must be good. Without discipline Divinity is not attained. Being one way one day and another way the next is not right at all.
A small example. You sing bhajans at six in the evening. Or you do dhyāna. At times you have to travel. On that journey you are in a bus at six. Some say that place, time and duty must not be changed at all. But you must keep the duty. Though the place changes, the time anywhere is six o'clock. If you are in a bus at six, sing the bhajan in your mind right there. Your mind will come to that place. The place comes to you; you need not go to the place. Do not break your order. If you keep to your order, everything comes to you. Time swallows the body. But Kāla swallows time. Who is Kāla? He is God.
