Sri Ramakrishna insisted that it is impossible to know
everything about God, the Divine Mother. He insisted to pray and take refuge at
her lotus feet:
Who can ever know God? I do not even try. I only call on Him
as Mother. Let Mother do whatever She likes. I shall know Her if it is Her
will, but I shall be happy to remain ignorant if She wills otherwise. …
O Mother! O Embodiment of Om! Mother, how many things people
say about Thee! But I don’t understand any of them. I don’t know anything, Mother.
I have taken refuge at Thy feet. I have sought protection in Thee. O Mother, I
pray only that I may have pure love for Thy Lotus Feet, love that seeks no
return. And Mother, do not delude me with Thy world-bewitching maya. I seek Thy
protection. I have taken refuge in Thee.
Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, 299.
