Paragraph 28

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: Why? The yoga of practice? In that country the women of the carpenter families sell flattened rice. Listen to how many things they keep in hand while they work. The beam of the husking pedal is falling, with her hand she is pushing the paddy under, and with her other arm she holds the baby on her lap and gives it the breast. Then a customer has come; the pedal goes on falling on this side, and the talk with the customer goes on as well. She is saying to the customer, Then pay up the few pice you owe before you go, and take the goods with you.
