The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna-6.
6.1.
A man does not feel restless for God until all his worldly desires are satisfied. He does not remember the Mother of the Universe until his share of the enjoyment of 'woman and gold' is completed.
A child absorbed in play does not seek his mother. But after his play is over, he says, 'Mother! I must go to my mother.' Hriday's son was playing with the pigeons, calling to them, 'Come! Ti, ti!' When he had had enough of play he began to cry.
Then a stranger came and said: 'Come with me. I will take you to your mother.' Unhesitatingly he climbed on the man's shoulders and was off.
6.2.
One should be in the world but not off the world.
A Boat floats on water.
But if water enters the boat, it may drown the boat itself.
Similarly though remaining in the world, one should not carry the world in their heart.
