Description
Sri Ramakrishna’s message was universal. Following Vedic tradition, he was not in conflict with the innumerable spiritual paths.M. said: “I should like Sir, to meditate upon God as the Formless rather than as a Being ‘with form.’”Sri Ramakrishna: “That is good. There is no harm in looking at Him from this or that point of view. Yes, yes, to think of Him as the Formless Being is quite right. But take care you do not run away with the idea that your view alone is true and all others false. Meditating upon Him as a Being `with form’ is equally right. But you must hold to your particular point of view until you realise – until you see God, when everything will become clear.” – The Gospel of Sri RamakrishnaOne Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math, a great monk and teacher of Advaita, nondualism, the formless God, was once asked why he continued to be immersed in worshipping in the shrine and in the temple. His reply was, “what else should I do?” The worshipper of the formless has no conflict with the worshipper of God with form.This lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on July 26, 2014.
