Sayings of Ramakrishna 171


A lover and a knower of God were once passing through a forest. On their way they saw a tiger at a distance. 

The Gñânin or knower of God said, "There is no reason why we should flee; the Almighty God will certainly protect us." 

At this the lover said, "No, brother, come let us run away. Why should we trouble the Lord for what can be accomplished by our own exertions?"
