February 15, 2014: The aim of life is to realize god and remain immersed in contemplation of him. God alone is real and everything else is false. One realizes god in proportion to the intensity of one’s feeling for him. He, who is really eager to cross the ocean of the world, will somehow break his bonds. No one can entangle him. The master (Sri Rama Krishna paramahamsa) is the embodiment of all demise and of all mantras… really and truly, one can worship through him all gods and goddesses. Holy men are born on earth to show people the way to god. They teach differently. There are many paths leading to the same goal. Therefore, the teachings of all saints are true. The chief characteristic of the master’s sadhana was his renunciation. Has anyone ever see such natural renunciation? Renunciation is his great ornament.
