Another highly charged and original statement that Sri Ramakrishna attributes to Gauri Pandit is, ‘Gauri once said that one attains true Knowledge when one realizes the identity of Kali and Gauranga. That which is Brahman is also Shakti, Kali. It is that, again, which, assuming the human form, has become Gauranga. Gauri used to worship his wife with offerings of flowers. All women are manifestations of the Divine Mother (69). It is a little difficult to discern exactly when Gauri stops and Thakur begins, in the above statement. One need not also repeat at this point, how many times, Sri Sri Thakur speaks of  Kali and Brahman inhering in each other, and being indivisible from each other. Interestingly, prior to the Shodashi Puja, Thakur knew that Gauri Pundit had also worshipped his wife. (116)
