Paragraph 74

In plain words

As soon as dusk has fallen Sri Ramakrishna salutes the Mother of the Universe and, clapping his hands, chants the name of Hari. In the room are many pictures of the deities: of Dhruva and Prahlada, of Rama the king, of Mother Kali, of Radha and Krishna. He bows to each of them, calling each by name. Then he says, Brahman, Atman, Bhagavan; the Bhagavata, the devotee, Bhagavan; Brahman, Sakti; Sakti, Brahman; the Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, the Gita, the Gayatri. I take refuge, I take refuge; not I, not I, but Thou, Thou; I am the machine, You are the one who works it; and so on.
