Quote: “Once a Marwari gentleman, approached Sri Ramakrishna and said, “How is it, Sir, that I do not see God, although I have renounced everything?”
The Master: Well, haven’t you seen leather jars for keeping oil? If one of them is emptied of its contents, still it retains something of the oil as well as its smell. In the same way there is still some worldliness left in you, and its odour persists.”
~ Sri Ramakrishna
