Letter #02 Sri Ramakrishna Saranam


Dear,

        I was in Janai from 13th July to 4th August. I have received your letter on 5th on coming back. Carry on strongly with meditation and analysis saving your body. Adopt the middle path between extreme austerity and comfort.

        Your marriage is due to the wrong actions of your previous life. Do not regret, you have to fix your goal and the real path and proceed amidst this. Success in this field is impossible without tremendous Purushakara (self-exertion- as distinguished from grace).

        Read Swami Vivekananda’s Jnanayoga* very gradually and meditate on its meaning. In case of any doubt, write immediately. The word Maya** denotes the imaginary bondage of time, space and causality. God is the only Truth i.e. Reality; all else are unreal. And our idea about this God develops gradually. There is no gradual development in God. God or Brahman is unchangeable, all else are changeable.

        I'm well by the grace of Sri Sri Thakur. When you've registered your name in Sri Ramakrishna hospital then there’s no escape. Your disease will be cured. Hence there's chance of worry or dejection. Know my good wishes.
