Quote by Sri Ramakrishna

Dislodging a green nut from it's shell is almost impossible, but let it dry and the lightest tap will do it.

Dislodging a green nut from it's shell is almost impossible,

Summary

This quote metaphorically suggests that it can be difficult or almost impossible to change or influence something in its early stages. Just like trying to dislodge a green nut from its shell, where it is tightly bound and resistant, certain things may be firmly rooted and resistant to change. However, given time and allowing it to naturally progress, even the lightest touch or influence can bring about desired results, just like a dried nut that easily comes out of its shell with a gentle tap. It emphasizes the concept of patience and timing in bringing about effective change.

The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance -- that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph.
