NEIGHBOUR: "You ask us, sir, to live in the world after knowing God. Can God really be known?"
MASTER: "God cannot be known by the sense-organs or by this mind; but He can be known by the pure mind, the mind that is free from worldly desires."
NEIGHBOUR: "Who can know God?"
MASTER: "Right. Who can really know Him? But as for us, it is enough to know as much of Him as we need. What need have I of a whole well of water? One jar is more than enough for me. An ant went to a sugar hill. Did it need the entire hill? A grain or two of sugar was more than enough."
- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 328-29 (28 November 1883)
