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.

More quotes by Ramakrishna
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
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
Only two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who are not encumbered at all with learning, that is to say, whose minds are not over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others and those who, after studying all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realise that they know nothing.
Ramakrishna
Dislodging a green nut from it's shell is almost impossible, but let it dry and the lightest tap will do it.
Ramakrishna
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
Ramakrishna
When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.
Ramakrishna
It's enough to have faith in one aspect of God. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false.
Ramakrishna
Once a person has faith, he has achieved everything.
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
The breeze of grace is always blowing set your sail to catch that breeze.
Ramakrishna
As a boy holding to a post or a pillar whirls about it with headlong speed without any fear or falling, so perform your worldly duties, fixing your hold firmly upon God, and you will be free from danger.
Ramakrishna
Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God.
Ramakrishna
The waves belong to the water. Does the water belong to the waves?
Ramakrishna
The world is not impermanent if one lives there after knowing God.
Ramakrishna
Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone.
Ramakrishna
One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
Ramakrishna
Live like a mud-fish: its skin is bright and shiny even though it lives in mud.
Ramakrishna
The vanities of all others may gradually die out, but the vanity of a saint regarding his sainthood is hard indeed to wear away.
Ramakrishna
As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal.
Ramakrishna
The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love.
Ramakrishna
