Paragraph 61

In plain words

A little later Sri Ramakrishna is talking with Mani alone on the round verandah to the west. In front the Ganges flows southward with a murmuring sound. It is winter: the sun can still be seen, in the south-west corner. He whose life is the Veda itself—the words from whose holy lips are the words of the Vedanta—through whose holy lips the Lord Himself speaks—taking whose nectar of words the Vedas, the Vedanta and the holy Bhagavata take the form of books: that Person, an ocean of grace that asks no reason, has taken the form of the Guru and is speaking.
