I had mentioned last time, we had read last time that how Sriramakrishna famously or infamously had actually slapped Rani Rashmani, who is the patron and actually the owner of the temple where he was just an humble temple priest.

But because she was thinking of something other than God, sitting in front of the, of Kali.

And Sharam Krishna could just straight away read minds.

But she was great enough to immediately understand what was the intent.

Another time, he slapped a very great scholar who was sitting on the bank of the Ganga and telling his beads.

But his mind was elsewhere. I also told you the joke, which Swami Atmapriangi

actually once said that, thank God, he is not physically around anymore. Otherwise, our cheeks

would always be red and stinging. He would keep slapping us, thinking about something other

than God. He prayed to God that let me stop this.

Why is my nature becoming like this?

And that nature went away.

I was told one of the companions of the prophet,

Prophet Muhammad, I think Omar, or Omar probably.

This was told to me by a very interesting person.

He's a Muslim gentleman, a doctor from Iraq, and a monk of our order.

And so interesting that he reads the Quran.

First he washes his hands in Ganga water and then he reads the Quran.
