Acharya Prashant explains the statement by Ramakrishna Paramahansa, "When I see any woman, I see Durga or Kali in her." He clarifies that this is not a method or a technique but the result of the state of being that Ramakrishna had achieved. Whoever becomes like Ramakrishna experiences this. The speaker cautions against the common desire to remain as we are while wanting to have the profound experiences of great men (Mahapurush). He poses the question of whether great events happen to great men first, or if they are great men first, and answers that they are in a certain state, which is why these events happen to them. To have Ramakrishna's experience, one must first become Ramakrishna. To be Ramakrishna means to realize, "I am nothing, the world is nothing, whatever is, is One." Ramakrishna gave this Oneness the name 'Kali', but any name or no name would suffice. The core identity of Ramakrishna is this very egolessness (Ahankar-shunyata). It is the understanding that "I am nothing, you are nothing, the bird, the tree, the brick, the stone, the sky—all are nothing. All are Kali," or simply, "All is One." For such a person, the concept of seeing things as separate or discriminating between them is incomprehensible. When a person reaches this state, they see Kali not only in every woman but also in a bird or in the grass. The issue is not about Kali, but about seeing the One. Acharya Prashant elaborates on the principle, "As is the vision, so is the creation" (Jaisi drishti, waisi srishti). A divided mind, occupied by many forces, perceives a divided world. He compares the ordinary person to scattered sand, easily swayed by external influences like the wind, which constantly changes the shape and location of sand dunes. In contrast, a person like Ramakrishna is like a firm peg driven into the ground, unshaken by any external events. There is something solid and unwavering within them. When this inner Oneness is established, the One is perceived externally as well. This doesn't mean seeing a literal image of Kali on a tree, but that no matter what appears externally, the inner state of Oneness remains undisturbed. This state of being unshaken is what is meant by 'Kali'. When Ramakrishna says he sees Kali in every woman, it signifies that even when faced with a woman, his inner stability and connection to the One are not disturbed by biological or social conditioning. He remains calm and centered. This is contrasted with the ego-driven state, where one's self-concept is borrowed from others and is therefore constantly in flux and easily shaken by praise, blame, or desire. The speaker concludes that the stories of great men are not to be taken at face value but should be understood as pointers to a state of mind, as the entire spiritual discussion is fundamentally about the mind.
