Sayings of Ramakrishna 118


Someone said, "When my boy Harish grows up, I will get him married, and give him the charge of the family; I shall then renounce the world, and begin to practice the devotion of Yoga." 

At this a Sâdhu remarked, "You will never find any opportunity of practicing Yoga. You will say afterwards, 'Harish and Girish are too much attached to me. They do not like to leave my company as yet.'

"Then you will desire perhaps, 'Let Harish have a son, and let me see that son married.' 

"And thus there will be no end of your desires."
