| Ramakrishna Paramhamsa and Kali Maa |
How could Ramakrishna Paramhamsa feed Kali?
The whole aspect of tantra is just about using your imagination in such a systematic way that you go on creating. If you take your little finger and with your mind, draw a line along the outline of the finger without missing a single point, it will take a lot of practice and slowly, if you can do it 100% – for every point, you can actually create what you visualize.
You can crystallize it into reality simply because you are using your mind in a certain way. The whole tantric procedure is just that – using your imagination and creating everything, point by point, and after some time you can breathe life into it.
Even today this is true, occult practitioners in India will make a doll out of cooked rice or some dough. They will work it up with all kinds of things and then make it actually walk – like a robot. It takes two, or three steps and cracks up and falls apart. This is simply by using the power of the mind.
If you train yourself just using your imagination, your dream process can become like that. You may have heard of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa feeding Kali and all these stories?
They look like mumbo-jumbo but for him, it was a reality. There were any number of people like this for whom it was a reality. Whether Kali comes or not, he makes it happen for himself. His mind is so crystallized on this, that he actually creates the form. You can crystallize reality simply by using your mind.
