Teachings of Sarada Devi

"Realization of God cannot be achieved without ecstatic love for him.... Did the cowherd boys of Vrindavan get Sri krishna as their own through Japa or meditation? They realized Him through ecstatic love. They used to say to Him, as to an intimate friend, 'Come here, O Krishna! Eat this! Take this!' " ----------------------------------------------------------------"If one can regard God as one's own and call on Him without seeing Him, that is God's grace."~ Sarada devi ~
