Ramkrishna's Love and Bhakti For Maa Kaali.

Once Mathur Babu presented Sri Ramakrishna with a beautiful shawl. Sri Ramakrishna was not interested in any such things; He was only interested in his Mother Goddess. But since Mathur Babu had given it with so much love, Sri Ramakrishna took it. After looking at it from all angles, he put it on.

In a few moments, he began thinking, “What is so special about this shawl? This expensive shawl does not provide me with real comfort or happiness.

Instead, it takes me my thoughts away from 𝙢𝙮 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙆𝙖𝙡𝙞 and makes me think about it.” Then He took a match and set one end of the shawl on fire. The shawl got half­ burned and looked quite bad. Ramakrishna said, “There! This looks fine. Now the shawl is not beautiful nor worth anything. Now I do not have to worry about taking care of it. Now I can spend my time repeating 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙆𝙖𝙡𝙞’s Name.”
