Word spread across the countryside about the wise Holy Man who lived in a small house atop the mountain. A man from the village decided to make the long and difficult journey to visit him.
When he arrived at the house, he saw an old servant inside who greeting him at the door.
“I would like to see the wise Holy Man,” he said to the servant.
The servant smiled and led him inside. As they walked through the house, the man from the village looked eagerly around the house, anticipating his encounter with the Holy Man.
Before he knew it, he had been led to the back door and escorted outside. He stopped and turned to the servant,
“But I want to see the Holy Man!”
“You already have,” said the old man. “Everyone you may meet in life, even if they appear plain and insignificant… see each of them as a wise Holy Man. If you do this, then whatever problem you brought here today will be solved.”

From the powers of Sub concious Mind.
The sleeping technique:
By entering into a sleepy, drowsy state, effort is reduced to a minimum. The conscious mind is submerged to a great extent when in a sleepy state.
The reason for this is that the highest degree of outcropping of the
subconscious occurs prior to sleep and just after we awaken. In this state the negative thoughts, which tend to neutralize your desire and so prevent acceptance by your subconscious mind, are no longer present.
Suppose you want to get rid of a destructive habit. Assume a comfortable posture, relax your body, and be still. Get into a sleepy state, and in that sleepy state, say quietly, over and over again as a
lullaby, “I am completely free from this habit; harmony and peace of mind reign supreme.” Repeat the above slowly, quietly, and lovingly for five or ten minute’s night and morning. Each time you repeat the words the emotional value becomes greater. When the urge comes to repeat the negative habit, repeat the above formula out loud by yourself. By this means you induce the subconscious to accept the idea, and a healing follows.

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.

There are many people who tell me that they worship God daily and they are not satisfied in their life. Their life is disturbed and they cannot live in peace. The first thing I would like to know is what have they given to this world that they are seeking so much from the same. The answer will be oh! Yes, I have donated so and so thing to my maid, or I have done so and so thing on that full moon day. Helping your maid, shows your self-interest and not help. Donations on a particular day shows our self-interest because we are doing it as we seek something from God. Kindness does not need motives. Motives murder the very spirit of generosity. Chanting, reading scriptures at home, donations to Brahmins does not make you good. (You will wonder who is a Brahmin according to vedas. A native who seeks God is a Brahmin. It is not that caste related dogmatic idea.) So all this help and kindness is unfortunately nothing as it is done under the veil of motives. People blame God for everything while he is not the doer. He is a watcher, we are the doers. All these bad things in our life are the reciprocal of our own deeds, then who do we blame. Ask anybody that whether they are good? Ninety percent people answer in affirmative. Everybody is so confident about their goodness that I wonder that I am living in heaven. It is not the truth. The truth is that we humans need up gradation, we need a mental reboot. Sage Kabir wrote this in his sakhis:
”माला फेरत जुग भया, फिरा न मन का फेर,
कर का मनका डार दे, मन का मनका फेर।“
It has been the whole eternity chanting the names by moving the beads of your rosary but there is still no change in your heart. Therefore, Leave those beads of your hand and try to change your heart.
In other words you cannot find peace by such means, peace belong to good hearts and those who change and leave their meanness.

Birds are very interesting creatures. They make nest only when they raise up their nestlings. When the nestlings learn to fly, they just leave them on their own. The practice of non-attachment is at its peak in their nature. They do not even look for a resting place before they need to raise their little ones. They just live under the sky considering it as a blanket. They work very hard to make their nests but no sooner their hatchling learn to fly, they abandon it for others. Other birdies occupy the same nest for their own purpose. Nothing belongs to nobody. No attachment to the dirt.. I have many lessons to learn.

The photo carries pearls, but they directly came to earth a few days back. They are hail stones, or rather hail gems. Do you know that hail stones are very difficult to imitate? A simple formation from God, but it cannot be imitated. The creation of the supreme power appears very simple and we do not take any notice as well but in reality his every creation is unique and unparalleled to the last degree. Rice, sugar, and milk everything appears so simple if taken individually and yet the “Payas” or “kheer” is a unique dish. We cannot see anything if we look at the rice or sugar individually. The interesting thing is that he is the end product and yet he reveals himself in three different forms. He is the end product in hail stones as well but he also revealed as water.
