Kathamrita Volume II - Swami Vivekananda

“ ‘The pestle will destroy the whole clan [6] ’.The pestle was rubbed a great deal, until mostof it was ground away. Yet a little piece of itstill remained. And the whole dynasty of theYadus was annihilated with that small piece ofpestle [7] . Reason and argue a thousand times,but if you have the seed of love and devotionfor the Lord within, you will come back andchant ‘Hari, Haribol.’ ”The devotees listen to Sri Ramakrishna withoututtering a word. Laughing, Thakur asksMahimacharan, “What do you like most?”Mahima (smiling) — Nothing. However, I likemangoes.Sri Ramakrishna (smiling) — Would you eatthem all yourself? Or would you share withothers?Mahima (smiling) — I have no great desire toshare. It is enough for me to eat them myself.Sri Ramakrishna’s correct attitudeSri Ramakrishna — But do you know what myattitude is? Is God not visible when I open myeyes? I accept both the Absolute [8] and thephenomenal [9] .
