Paragraph 10
শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ—ও-সব ভাল পথ নয়, বড় কঠিন, আর পতন প্রায়ই হয়। বীরভাবে সাধন, দাসীভাবে সাধন, আর মাতৃভাবে সাধন! আমার মাতৃভাব। দাসীভাবও ভাল। বীরভাবে সাধন বড় কঠিন। সন্তানভাব বড় শুদ্ধভাব।
In plain words
Sri Ramakrishna: Those are not good paths. They are very difficult, and falls are frequent. There is practice as a hero, practice as a handmaid, and practice looking on woman as mother! Mine is to look on her as mother. The handmaid's attitude is good too. Practice as a hero is very hard. The attitude of a child is a very pure attitude.
