American, age 77, speaking only English, I was thrown off the material base & into the underlying truth, through an unexpected intuition at the ridiculously young age of 3. It was powerful. What has been seen cannot be “unseen.” So, living a normal life - female, student through college, eventually mother of 2 sons - I followed the thread that was anchored in the child’s realization. Living “normally” was important. I believed that, if reality was closed to an average woman, it wasn’t worth the effort. I have never joined any religion with “brick & mortar” programs. I never accepted a living guru. In the early 20th century most texts were translated into English. I took all these books as teacher. Christian, Roman Catholic, Buddhism of India, Tibet & Japan and Hinduism and physics, I read most deeply. Shamanism, Islam, New Age, etc. were read too, but did not “grab” me. My “method” was to find in different religions, and physics, which could not have “cross-pollinated” or influenced each other THREE basic beliefs that were essentially the same. This could not remain mere knowledge; it had to be practiced and embraced in my heart. I can’t describe over 70 years of experience in a short comment. I will say I have replaced the names “God (the cloud of unknowing), Brahman, Emptiness & Void, with the word possibility. Possibility is to experienced phenomena as zero is to all numbers. For me God suggested there were other names; the same with the name Brahman. Emptiness associated itself of something being empty & empty of what? Void suggested boundaries & void of what? Possibility has for me no location, no mass, no size, no beginning & no end. Like fire cannot be separated from burning, possibility cannot be separated from awareness (consciousness) of infinite possibilities. btw: When Sri Ramakrishna renounced virtue/sin, knowledge/ignorance, etc., he was renouncing JUDGEMENT. Possibility accepts all comers. Compassion. Ramakrishna kept that! Love.
Sri Ramakrishna was an avatar of Ma Kali too They worshipped each other as their mother.. Something I need to figure out. 🤔 My one line of thinking is that we have to see everyone else as avatars of kali-ma and treat them with the same respect as we have for Ma in our hearts. What do you think?
I cannot express in words what bliss I experienced hearing this talk. Solace of my soul.
Maharaj I have read this several times. But your discourse has shown this to me in a new light. It is nothing short of Devine. My pronams to you.
Can listen to stories of great ramakrishna and swami vivekananda even for one whole year . My super heros

Ma sarada the wife of ramakrishna was an incarnation of Maa Kali
Sri Ramakrishna was an avatar of Ma Kali too
They worshipped each other as their mother..
Something I need to figure out. 🤔
My one line of thinking is that we have to see everyone else as avatars of kali-ma and treat them with the same respect as we have for Ma in our hearts.
What do you think?
@@SrikanthIyerTheMariner Absolutely right,,
We should humanize our relationship with Ma,
And divinize our relationship with humans 😁
Beautiful. Thank you. Jai Sri Ramakrishna.
