Eknath Easwaran Quotes

Lovers Of God Possess Intense Concentration. In Prayer Their Attention Rivets Itself So Completely Onto God That Nothing Can Tear It Away. Even A Suggestion Of The Divine May Draw Them Into A Higher State Of Consciousness. Occasionally This Can Be Somewhat Inconvenient. Sri Ramakrishna Once Went To See A Religious Drama Produced By His Disciple. The Curtain Went Up And A Character Started Singing The Praises Of The Lord. Sri Ramakrishna Immediately Began To Enter The Supreme State Of Consciousness. The Stage Faded; The Actors And Actresses Faded. As Only A Great Mystic Can, He Uttered A Protest: "I Come Here, Lord, To See A Play Staged By My Disciple, And You Send Me Into Ecstasy. I Won't Let It Happen!" And He Started Saying Over And Over, "Money... Money...money," So As To Keep Some Awareness Of The Temporal World.
