Sayings of Ramakrishna 179

Some get tipsy with even a small glass of wine. Others require two or three bottles to make them intoxicated. 

But both get the equal and full pleasure of intoxication. 

Similarly, some devotees get intoxicated with celestial bliss by coming in direct contact with the Lord of the Universe, while others become full of ecstasy even by a glimpse of the Divine Glory. 

But both are equally fortunate, since both are deluged with Divine bliss.
