More quotes by Ramakrishna
He who is called Krishna is also Siva and the Primal Sakti...He again, who is called Jesus and Allah. Truth is one.
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
Do yourself what you wish others to do.
Ramakrishna
Try to cultivate love of God. You are born as a human being only to attain divine love.
Ramakrishna
It is on account of the ego that one is not able to see God. In front of the door of God's mansion lies the stump of ego. One cannot enter the mansion without jumping over the stump.
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
Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God Who is the soul of truth.
Ramakrishna
A man develops a subtle power as a result of the strict observance of celibacy for twelve years. Then he can understand and grasp very subtle things which otherwise elude his intellect. Through that understanding the aspirant can have direct vision of God. That pure understanding alone enables him to realize Truth.
Ramakrishna
Have love for everyone, no one is other than you.
Ramakrishna
If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you.
Ramakrishna
Once a person has faith, he has achieved everything.
Ramakrishna
As for me, I consider myself as a speck of the dust of the devotee's feet.
Ramakrishna
The breeze of grace is always blowing on you. You have to open the sails and your boat will move forward.
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
The ordinary man says in his ignorance, My religion is the sole religion, my religion is the best. But when his heart is illuminated by the true knowledge, he knows that beyond all the battles of sects and of sectaries presides the one, indivisible, eternal and omnipresent Benediction.
Ramakrishna
Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone.
Ramakrishna
The supreme purpose and goal for human life... is to cultivate love.
Ramakrishna
When an unbaked pot is broken, the potter can use the mud to make a new one but when a baked one is broken, he cannot do the same any longer. So when a person dies in a state of ignorance, he is born again but when he becomes well baked in the fire of true knowledge and dies a perfect man, he is not born again.
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
Finish the few duties you have at hand, and then you will have peace.
Ramakrishna
