Talk Excerpt 248. Swamiji says Sri Ramakrishna is the very root of the ‘wish-fulfilling’ tree.

From Mother Radha’s notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

Do not underestimate Sri Ramakrishna. Not only is he the wish-fulfilling tree; he is the wish-fulfilling root that gives life to the branches, leaves and so on.

Sri Ramakrishna is the embodiment of all the deities, past, present and future. Give him what he loves.

An Incarnation [avatar] of God suffers too. Sri Ramakrishna had cancer to teach us to become above suffering.

Christ, Rama, Krishna, and so on, all came from Him – He is relative and Absolute.

Swami Yatiswarananda said: ‘We must be cosmo-centric and not ego-centric.’

Question: Sri Ramakrishna always speaks about God-realisation and God-love. Must we pray only for God-love and God-realisation? Swamiji: Yes. That is what he loves.

Question: What if someone is doing black magic and some spooks are worrying me?

Swamiji: Sri Ramakrishna knows best what worries you. He will take it away. You just win his grace and get him to love you.
