Paragraph 10

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna has now come to Surendra's house, and is sitting in the parlour upstairs. Surendra's second brother, a subordinate judge, is there too. Many devotees have gathered in the room. The Master says to Surendra's elder brother: "You are a judge, and that is fine; but know this: everything is God's power. He alone has given the high post, and so it has come. People think that they are great men. The water from the roof falls through a spout shaped like a lion's head, and it looks as if the lion were spouting water from its mouth. But see where the water comes from. Clouds form somewhere in the sky, that water falls on the roof, then runs down into the pipe, and then pours out through the lion's mouth."
