Website dedicated to the Divine Mother, whose Mercy and
Compassion for suffering humanity, found Wonderful Expression in the
Embodiment of Satchitananda, known as Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsadeva.
The following is a brief excerpt from the Gospel of Sri
Ramakrishna. To obtain a copy of this book, please contact the Vedanta
Society of Toronto. See link on this page
The Master Said:
"If a man clings tenaciously to truth he
ultimately realizes God. Without this regard for truth he gradually loses
everything.
If by chance I say that I will go to the pine- grove, I
must go there even if there is no further need of it, lest I lose my
attachment to truth.
After my vision of the Divine Mother, I prayed to
Her, taking a flower in my hand:
'Mother, here is Thy knowledge and
here is Thy ignorance. Take them both and give me only pure love. Here is
Thy holiness and here is Thy unholiness. Take them both, Mother, and give me
pure love. Here is Thy good and here is Thy evil. Take them both, Mother,
and give me pure love. Here is Thy righteousness and here is Thy
unrighteousness. Take them both, Mother, and give me pure love'. I
mentioned all these, but I could not say: 'Mother, here is Thy truth and here
is Thy falsehood. Take them both'.
I gave up everything at Her
Feet, but could not bring myself to give up truth".

This little page on the Internet was brought into existance
on February 18, 1999, one hundred and sixty-three years since the Blessed
Appearance of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsadeva.
Sri Ramakrishna points out that denying the operation of faith
is like denying the existence of stars because they are not
visible in the sky during daytime.
