A DEVOTEE: "Sir, what is the way?"
MASTER: "Discrimination between the Real and the unreal. One should always discriminate to the effect that God alone is real and the world unreal. And one should pray with sincere longing."
DEVOTEE: "But, sir, where is our leisure for these things?"
MASTER: "Those who have the time must meditate and worship. But those who cannot possibly do so must bow down whole-heartedly to God twice a day. He abides in the hearts of all; He knows that worldly people have many things to do. What else is possible for them? You don't have time to pray to God; therefore give Him the power of attorney. But all is in vain unless you attain God and see Him."
- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 385 (2 February 1884)
