RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Asking God for Help

Hints from Sri Ramakrishna on how to realize God

Jnanis, wisdom yogis, see God as Brahman or Absolute Consciousness; raja yogis view God as Universal Consciousness; and both jnana and raja yogis seek to become absorbed in Infinite Consciousness. But bhaktas, devotional yogis, want communion with the Lord. Practice the attitudes Sri Ramakrishna shares which are necessary to live in communion with God. Understand the power and significance of surrender and seeking divine assistance through the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna on asking God for help.

Call Out to the Lord

As a devotee, call out to the Lord, the Divine Mother, and say, “I’m your child. Take me up. Place me where You will. My life is in Your care. I seek to do what You would have me do.”
