I read this ...Thanks for leaving a comment, Sharan. I read this quote in Kathamrita aka Gospel of Ramakrishna. He says it often to his disciples, so its difficult to miss.<BR/><BR/>This was the phase, perhaps, when Ramakrishna used to like being in savikalpa instead of nirvikalpa. And so he used to say that tasting the bliss is more *fun* than being it :)<BR/><BR/>Drop by more often.Advaitavedantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945896897761577866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105984.post-1144442111525383992006-04-08T02:05:00.000+05:302006-04-08T02:05:00.000+05:30Hello Praveen,Just an observation.

The quote attributed to Sri Ramakrishna in my knowledge, comes from Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.<BR/>i also remember to have read Sri Ramakrishna following up on the above quote and saying "It's only when you are not the sugar syrup can you claim that its not bliss being the sugar syrup" or something on those lines implying that the advaitic experience is indeed pure Bliss.<BR/>Thank you,<BR/>Sharan SharmaSharan Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295242114299220736noreply@blogger.com
