Since ancient times, sages have prayed, “Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya” (Lead us from darkness to light). So are we in darkness? No, in the long struggle of life, entangled in materialism, involved in the desire to achieve everything, we forget our true nature and the purpose of life and invite sorrows. When we look into the inner space for peace, we experience darkness, restlessness and vast emptiness. Because, the happiness, resources and relationships that we had cherished around us start breaking and getting lost. Then there is a need of a ray of light, a sweet voice of love which is not perishable, which is limitless and which gives supreme bliss.
We get the ray of the same light in ‘Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita’. A garland of some (enlightening words) flowers has been made from Sri Ramakrishna flower garden, whose fragrance and beauty are beneficial. Come, let us offer this garland to the awakened Shiva in this God-given life and take life on the journey of light by realizing “Satyam Shivam Sundaram” through the words of Lord Sri Ramakrishna, in the life’s sacrifice, this is the purpose of the motivational thoughts of Sri Ramakrishna.
