Sayings of Ramakrishna 58

What is the state which a Siddha attains? (A perfect man and well-cooked food are both called siddha. There is a pun here on the word.)

As potato or brinjal, &c., when boiled properly (siddha), becomes soft and tender, so when a man reaches perfection (Siddha) he becomes all humility and tenderness.
