Paragraph 10

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: No. At first one has to put some real effort into it; after that there is no need for much labour. While the boat has to pass waves and storm and gale, and round the bend of the river, the boatman must stand at the helm; but once that stretch is crossed, he need do so no longer. When the bend is passed and a favourable wind blows, the boatman sits back at ease, just resting his hand on the helm; then he sees to setting the sail and sits down to fill his pipe. When you have come through the storms of woman and gold, then there is peace.
