One day, there came a scholar <br />And advised the Master, <br />“For your self-cure, concentrate <br />Steadily on your bad throat.” <br /> <br />This would mean diversion <br />Of his mind from God then, <br />Switching over to his body, <br />For which he wasn’t ready. <br /> <br />When Narendra persisted, <br />To Mother Kali, Guru prayed, <br />Just to satisfy his disciple, <br />And it was not fruitful. <br /> <br />What was Mother’s advice, <br />He told the worried disciples, <br />“To eat thro’ your mouths, <br />Mother gave me her orders.” <br /> <br />Here, the principles of Vedanta <br />Was quoted by Ramakrishna, <br />That God pervaded all souls, <br />To prove oneness of existence. <br /> <br />In Ramakrishna’s opinion, <br />This was the true realization <br />To overcome the pain <br />Or suffering by anyone. <br /> <br />The advance stage of disease <br />Made his condition serious, <br />And he looked like a skeleton <br />Just covered by a thin skin. <br /> <br />As he couldn’t even whisper, <br />He had to write on paper, <br />That all his acquired powers <br />Would work thro’ his disciples. <br /> <br />Was Guru God incarnate? <br />Narendra still had this doubt. <br />Guru told him, “Rama and Krishna <br />Both are in me as Ramakrishna.” <br /> <br />Thus, Guru himself declared <br />That he came to this world <br />As God-man to guide the people <br />And make them more spiritual. <br /> <br />On 16th August,1886, morn <br />Ramakrishna, the Holy-man, <br />Entered the heavenly abode, <br />Leaving this material world. <br /> <br />A week thereafter they saw, <br />A luminous figure, with awe, <br />Not merely as an illusion, <br />But actually in their vision..<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/20-vivekananda-the-master-s-last-days/
