Description
From the book:
Do you know how I see ? Trees, plants, men, animals, grass – these and all other things I see as different coverings like pillowcases, some made of fine cotton and others of coarser stuff, some round in shape and others square. But within all these pillowcases there is one and the same substance, cotton.
In the same way all the objects of the world are stuffed with the unconditioned Sachchidananda. I feel as if the mother has wrapped herself in different clothes, and is peeping out from them.
--- Sri Ramakrishna
