Sayings of Ramakrishna 70


When the head of a goat is severed from its body, the trunk moves about for some time, still showing the signs of life. 

Similarly, though the Ahamkâra (vanity or egoism) is beheaded in the perfect man, yet sufficient of its vitality is left to make such a man carry on the functions of physical life; but that much is not sufficient to bind him again to the world.
