Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz - Writer's Guild

Three Selections from
THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Rama asked Hanuman, "Hanuman, what attitude do you cherish toward Me when you worship Me?" Hanuman answered, "Sometimes I see that You are the whole and I am a part; sometimes I see that You are the Master and I am Your servant. But Rama, when I have the Knowledge of Reality, then I find that You are I and I am You."

Once a man asked Hanuman which day of the fortnight it was. "Brother," said Hanuman, "I don't know anything of the day of the week, or the fortnight, or the position of the stars. I think of Rama alone."

Rama said to Narada, "Ask a boon of Me." Narada said, "O Rama, is there anything I lack? What shall I ask of Thee? But if Thou must give me a boon, grant that I may have selfless love for Thy Lotus Feet and that I may not be deluded by Thy world-bewitching maya." Rama said, "Narada, ask something else." Narada again replied, "O Rama, I don't want anything else. Be gracious to me and see that I have pure love for Thy Lotus Feet."
