More quotes by Ramakrishna
God in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous.
Ramakrishna
Whoever wants God intensely, finds Him. Go and verify it in your own life.
Ramakrishna
One cannot completely get rid of the six passions: lust, anger, greed, and the like. Therefore one should direct them to God. If you must have desire and greed, then you should desire love of God and be greedy to attain Him.
Ramakrishna
The breeze of grace is always blowing set your sail to catch that breeze.
Ramakrishna
Right discrimination is of two kinds analytical and synthetical. The first leads one from the phenomena to the Absolute Brahman, while by the second one knows how the Absolute Brahman appears as the universe.
Ramakrishna
As for myself, I look upon all women as my Mother. This is a very pure attitude of mind. There is no risk or danger in it. To look upon a woman as one's sister is also not bad. But the other attitudes are very difficult and dangerous. It is almost impossible to keep to the purity of the ideal.
Ramakrishna
When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.
Ramakrishna
It is not lust alone that one should be afraid of in the life of the world. There is also anger. Anger arises when obstacles are placed in the way of desire.
Ramakrishna
The supreme purpose and goal for human life... is to cultivate love.
Ramakrishna
When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.
Ramakrishna
Do yourself what you wish others to do.
Ramakrishna
Unalloyed love of God is the essential thing. All else is unreal.
Ramakrishna
If you keep your heart immersed always in the depth of that holy love, your heart is sure to remain ever full to overflowing with the Divine fervour of sacred love.
Ramakrishna
Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God.
Ramakrishna
The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it.
Ramakrishna
Why does God allow evil in the world? To thicken the plot.
Ramakrishna
The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.
Ramakrishna
More are the names of God and infinite are the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through them you will realise Him.
Ramakrishna
By the mind one is bound by the mind one is freed. ... He who asserts with strong conviction: I am not bound, I am free, becomes free.
Ramakrishna
As the snake is separate from its slough, even so is the Spirit separate from the body.
Ramakrishna
