"Can you weep for Him with intense longing of heart?
Men shed a jugful of tears for the sake of their children, for their
wives, or for money. But who weeps for God? So long as the child
remains engrossed with its toys, the mother looks after her cooking
and other household duties. But when the child no longer relishes the
toys, it throws them aside and yells for its mother. Then the mother
takes the rice-pot down from the hearth, runs in haste, and takes the
child in her arms."
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
(Dakshineshwar 1884)
