When you dive in the water of the sea, you might be assaulted by crocodiles. Be that as it may, they won't contact you if your body is spread with turmeric. There are no uncertainty six crocs – desire, outrage, insatiability, et cetera - inside you, in the 'heart's fathomless profundities'. Be that as it may, secure yourself with the turmeric of segregation and renunciation, and they won't contact you.
(page.125, The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Thakur's words to Narendra and his companions in his room in Dakshineswar on 16 October 1882.)
