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)
