Paragraph 20

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: It is God's law that if you sin you must reap the fruit. If you eat chillies, won't your mouth burn? Sejo Babu did all sorts of things in his youth, and so when he was dying he had all kinds of illnesses. When you are young you hardly notice. At the Kali temple there is a lot of sundari wood for cooking the offerings. When the wood is damp, at first it burns quite well, and you don't notice the water inside. But when the wood has burnt down, all the water comes oozing out at the back, hissing and spluttering, and puts out the fire. So one must beware of lust, anger, greed and the like. Look at Hanuman: in anger he burnt Lanka; then he remembered that Sita was in the Asoka grove, and he began to fret, for fear that something should happen to her.
