Sri
Ramakrishna wanted to see the Wilson Circus.
Sri
Ramakrishna said to M.: "Did you see how that Englishwoman stood on one
foot on her horse, while it ran like lightning? How difficult a feat that must
be! She must have practised a long time. The slightest carelessness and she
would break her arms or legs; she might even be killed. One faces the same
difficulty leading the life of a householder. A few succeed in it through the
grace of God and as a result of their spiritual practice. But most people fail.
Entering the world, they become more and more involved in it; they drown in worldliness
and suffer the agonies of death. A few only, like Janaka, have succeeded,
through the power of their austerity, in leading the spiritual life as
householders. Therefore spiritual practice is extremely necessary; otherwise
one cannot rightly live in the world."
