Paragraph 57

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: Until enjoyment has run its course, longing does not come. Until one has had one's fill of whatever enjoyment of woman and gold there is, the Mother of the Universe does not come to mind. When a child is absorbed in play, he doesn't want his mother. When the game is over, then he says, "I'll go to Mother." Hriday's boy was playing with pigeons; he is calling to the pigeons—going "Come, ti ti!"! As soon as he had had his fill of playing with the pigeons, he at once began to cry. Then a strange man came and said, I'm taking you to your mother, come. The boy climbed onto that very man's shoulders and went off quite readily.
