Paragraph 36

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: No, my dear, it was shown to me exactly, in a flash!—not by working it out. I was shown each flowering plant as if it were a bouquet, adorning that cosmic form. From that day the picking of flowers stopped. I see men too in just the same way. It is as if he himself, taking up the human body, goes swaying about—as a pillow floats on the waves—the pillow drifts on, rocking this way and that, but as the wave strikes it, one moment it rises high, and the next it comes down low with the wave.
