Maybe you have heard of Ramakrishna, an Indian saint? During His time, one day a beggar came in front of the Kali Temple. And while standing in front of the temple, he just chanted one mantra, and the whole temple started to move. Another man was looking, and when he saw that the beggar has such power, he started running after him. When the beggar saw that this man was running after him, he started to run even faster. After a while, when the beggar saw that this man was still behind him, he stopped and said, “What do you want?” The man replied, “I have seen that just by standing and praying in front of the temple, you made the whole temple moving. So, for sure you are a great person, and I would like to learn from you, and to become your disciple.” The beggar said, “No, I don’t want you. Go away!” But the man kept bucking and said, “Hey, I want, I want, I want!” Then the beggar finally told him, “Ok, you want to be my disciple? Fine! Do you see this river here and do you see that river overthere?” One river was dirty and the other river was clean, and the saint said to the man, “Come to me when both of these two rivers seem alike for you!”

A small story about Ramakrishna
Maybe you have heard of Ramakrishna, an Indian saint? During His time, one day a beggar came in front of the Kali Temple. And while standing in front of the temple, he just chanted one mantra, and the whole temple started to move. Another man was looking, and when he saw that the beggar has such power, he started running after him. When the beggar saw that this man was running after him, he started to run even faster.

Oneness with the Divine
On your spiritual path there are things in your way that you have to get rid of to achieve this complete oneness with the Divine. That doesn’t mean that God is far away from you. He is here all the time and He is waiting for you to wake up and make yourself realized, because you are born with this realization. It’s just all this dirt from the mind that limits the Self. Cross over this, chant the name of God and be in love with God, because He is the only one that can really love you unconditionally. He is the only one that gives to you without expecting something in return.
Try to achieve this love. Try to become this love. Try to realize how much love you have inside you and then spread it. Love can’t be kept. By doing this, you become an instrument of the Divine. It reflects through you. It acts through you. Then you realize what your mission is.
