Paragraph 14

In plain words

Sri Ramakrishna: Can anyone understand the work of God, or with what purpose He does what He does? He creates, He preserves, He destroys. Can we know why He destroys? As for me, I say, "Mother, I don't even need to understand; give me devotion at Your lotus feet." The purpose of human life is to attain this devotion. Mother knows all the rest. I have come to the garden for the mangoes. Why should I sit and reckon up so many trees, so many boughs, so many millions of leaves! I eat the mangoes; I have no need to count the trees and leaves.
