Have You Seen God?

Monday December 5, 2005
In reply to this question of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa said: "Yes, I have seen God. I have seen Him more tangibly than I see you. I have talked with him more intimately than I am talking to you. But my child, who wants to see God! People shed jugs of tears for money, wife and children. But if they weep for God for only one day they would surely see Him."

Really, the impact of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsaji’s teachings can be seen in the social works carried out by Swami Vivekanandaji. its really true…when we are totally invovled with god. we tend to forget all material things. i have personally felt this so many times especially, when i m all alone.
