READINGS

Taken from Mother Radha’s
notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

Day 307

Manifest love. Always think, ‘Yes, I am all love. I am manifesting love
all the time.’ Do not think of the negative side. When you manifest love you will
become It.

We are in samadhi [superconsciousness or constant consciousness of or immersion in, our
true divine nature] all the time, it is only a plane of Consciousness in which
either the ego is retained, or the ego is partly retained, or the ego is gone. You
can only kill the ego through suffering.

Give the best to Him and keep the worst for yourself.

Worship all as your child.

Show that all your actions, your thoughts, words and deeds, are united.
That is it.

Ramakrishna is Krishna [God, an
Incarnation of God], and Vivekananda is Arjuna [the disciple of Lord Krishna]. Krishna says in the [Bhagavad] Gita, ‘We have been together always.
I remember, but you do not, O Arjuna.

Ramakrishna’s is a living teaching, and he is teaching us that teaching
today.

Devotee: Have we been together before, Swamiji? Swamiji: Surely. We are
all waves on the ocean, whether we are large or small makes no difference. Know
that you are a wave too. Go back to the ocean of bliss. Worship the small as
the small, but worship That, which is beyond, which is much greater, and
is within you too. See everyone as perfect and loving. Have thoughts of worship
and love. We must come back together. Pray for all, end this, and come back
too.

If you have any doubts, ask the guru.

Question: But Swamiji, am I not supposed to get my own answers
intuitively? Swamiji: Yes, intuitively or intellectually, but do not let it
worry you, rather ask.
