Passage 27

In English

Man has travelled millions of miles and reached the moon but, he has not progressed even an inch in his inward journey. People today, spend enormous effort for obtaining material wealth, but they do not contemplate on God even for a minute. Once () asked , “, you say you can see God. How is it that we are not able to see Him?” Ramakrishna gave him a straight answer. “Son, people cry for their wives, children, family, and their possessions. But, do they shed a single tear for the sake of God? If one sheds tears for the sake of God wholeheartedly, surely God will be visible to him.” Develop firm determination to see God. If your faith is unsteady, you will not be able to have the vision of God. People are full of doubts. So long as attachment to the body is there, attachment to God is not possible. God will not manifest before doubters. Therefore, you should ensure that you do not allow doubts to arise under any circumstances. This is the only that you need to perform. With this , God manifests right in your heart.
