Ramakrishna and Narendranath

Ramakrishna was telling stories of his own life to Narendranath.  He was telling stories about his coming from  Kamarpukur , Burdwan .   He had to come from Kamarpukur to Dakshineswar by various means of conveyances. First he had to come by foot, and then by Bullock cart. While coming by bullock cart he asked the driver to wait for sometime and he went to see the things around him in the open field. He went to see how the living beings were passing their lives and saw some ants going from one place to another in a long que. He thought, "there is god every where, in every living being."
He asked Narendranath , " Keep your God , and keep your meditation. Go round India. See what peoples are doing there ? How they are living ? I had in my mind to become a successful man. But I couldn't. I want to do mission done by you. Do you know, what is that ? Uplift the nation. Listen Narendranath, religion is not which can be injected in empty stomach.  This body is made up of five things - earth, water, light, air, atmosphere. The body is made up with these five primary elements. Bible, too, mentioned this.You have come from this earth and you will be merged in earth."
I came to understand this by observing the life of ants. "Look, there are many flowers, like that of many human beings. In some flowers there are rows of petals. Smaller to bigger. World is also like that. Smaller world to bigger world. Like thousands petals in a lotus.Sometimes Ramakrishna absorbed in deep meditation. I must die, when I was born.There is none, who is immortal.
But one thing is there, everywhere, in every time and eternal that is the supreme body. He will never die because He was not been born. Again Ramakrishna absorbed in deep meditation.
