Background
A description of the experience
Hymns of Ramakrishna
High in the heaven of the Mother's feet, my mind was soaring like a kite,
When came a blast of sin's rough wind that drove it swiftly toward the earth
Maya disturbed its even flight by bearing down upon one side
And I could make it rise no more
Entangled in the twisting string of love for children and for wife
Alas! My kite was rent in twain
It lost its crest of wisdom soon and downward plunged as I let it go
How could it hope to fly again, when all its top was torn away
Though fastened with devotion's cord, it came to grief in playing here;
Its six opponents worsted it
Now Naraschandra rues this game of smiles and tears, and thinks it better
Never to have played at all
