A seeker of God came to Ramakrishna Paramhansa and asked, “I have heard you have visions of Goddess Kali.”
Ramakrishna: “Yes, that is true. What about it?”
Seeker: “Can you please ask her to appear to me as well?”
Ramakrishna: “Tell me where you live, so I can send her to you.”
The seeker gave him his home address.
Ramakrishna: “This is the address of your house, not of yourself. Give me your own address. What if you are not at home when she comes?”
The seeker then gave him his office address.
Ramakrishna: “This is the address of your workplace, not of yourself. Give me your own address.”
The seeker was puzzled and did not know what to say.
Ramakrishna: “The day you discover your true self, you will meet the Goddess on your own. She will always come to you when you know who you are, not where you live or work.”
