From the Gospels of Sage Ramakrishna
He who hath True Knowledge ceaseth to have anything to do with talking or controversy.. God, the Absolute, is the one Substance to be realized — not described Realization or known. The sign of True Knowledge or Realization is cessation of doubt and therefore
of philosophical discussion.
How long doth the clarified butter in a pan set over a
cooking-stove go on making a noise? Why, so long as it doth
not get to the right degree of heat so as not to have any trace
of water left. The clarified butter not sufficiently hot bubbleth up and it giveth forth that well-known sound kawl, avol.
Like the butter melted to the right temperature and not
giving any sound is he who has got True Knowledge — that
is, who has realized God, the Absolute.
The butter not heated is the aspirant for knowledge. The
water with which it hath got mixed must be made to go off
by its being set over the fire. This is the ego or self which
gets very clamorous in the process of being got rid off. As
soon as this egoism is shaken off it is pucka- No noise, no
clamor.
