Paragraph 48

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: Don't say such a thing again. It is the Ganges that has the waves; the Ganges is not something belonging to a wave. 'I am such a great man, I am so-and-so'—unless all this egotism goes, He cannot be attained. Soak the mound of 'I' with the water of devotion and make it level ground.
