Edgar Cayce Reading 1567-2

An experience, then, is not only a happening, but what is the reaction
in your own mind? What does it do to you to make your life, your
habits, your relationships to others of a more helpful nature, with a
more hopeful attitude?
These are the criterions for every individual's experience--sincerity
of purpose, of desire; putting the whole law into effect in the
activities--which is to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, thy
mind, thy body, and thy neighbor as thyself.
This is the whole law. All the other things given or written are only
the interpreting of same.
Then what does such a proclaiming preclude? From what basis is the
reasoning drawn? What is the purpose of an individual experience of an
entity or soul into the earth at any given period?
These answered then give a background for the interpreting of why.

The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

"Sir, is there no help, then, for such a worldly person?"Sri
Ramakrishna: "Certainly there is. From time to time he should live in
the company of holy men, and from time to time go into solitude to
meditate on God. Furthermore, he should practise discrimination and
pray to God, 'Give me faith and devotion.' Once a person has faith he
has achieved everything. There is nothing greater than faith. P. 87

The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

"How ought we to live in the world?"
Sri Ramakrishna: "Do all your duties, but keep your mind on God. Live
with all – with wife and children, father and mother – and serve them.
Treat them as if they were very dear to you, but know in your heart of
hearts that they do not belong to you. …Do all your duties in the
world, but keep your mind on God." P. 81

The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

"Under what conditions does one see God?"Sri Ramakrishna: "Cry to
the Lord with an intensely yearning heart and you will certainly see
Him. People shed a whole jug of tears for wife and children. They swim
in tears for money. But who weeps for God? Cry to Him with a real
cry." P. 83 The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna
