With deep yearning God may be realised by any path

1882: M.'s visit to the Master at Dakshineshwar

Everyone thinks that his watch alone is right:
Sri Ramakrishna was talking to Kali, the Divine Mother of the Universe. He said:
Mother, everyone says, 'My watch alone is right.' The Christians, the Brahmos, the Hindus, the Mussalmans, all say, 'My religion alone is true.' But, Mother, the fact is that nobody's watch is right. Who can truly understand Thee? But if a man prays to Thee with a yearning heart, he can reach Thee, through Thy grace, by any path.

Mother, show me some time how the Christians pray to Thee in their churches. But Mother, what will people say if I go in? Suppose they make a fuss! Suppose they don't allow me to enter the Kali temple again! Well then, show me the Christian worship from the door of the church.
