More quotes by Ramakrishna
I have no disciple. I am the servant of the servant of Rama .
Ramakrishna
All religions are true. God can be reached by different religions. Many rivers flow by many ways but they fall into the sea. They all are one.
Ramakrishna
Sugar and sand may be mixed together, but the ant rejects the sand and goes off with the sugar grain so pious men lift the good from the bad.
Ramakrishna
Whoever wants God intensely, finds Him. Go and verify it in your own life.
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
Bhakti is the one essential thing. To be sure, God exists in all beings. Who, then is a devotee? He whose mind dwells on God. But this is not possible as long as one has egotism and vanity. The water of God's grace cannot collect on the high mound of egotism. It runs down.
Ramakrishna
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
Ramakrishna
It is very pleasant to scratch an itching ring-worm, but the sensation one gets afterwards is very painful and intolerable. In the same way the pleasures of this world are very attractive in the beginning, but their consequences are terrible to contemplate and hard to endure.
Ramakrishna
The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
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
Wisdom leads to unity, but ignorance to separation. So long as God seems to be outside and far away, there is ignorance. But when God is realised within, that is true knowledge.
Ramakrishna
Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God.
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
The supreme purpose and goal for human life... is to cultivate love.
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
The fool who repeats again and again: I am bound, I am bound, remains in bondage. He who repeats day and night: I am a sinner, I am a sinner, becomes a sinner indeed.
Ramakrishna
You should not feel that your path is the only right path and that other paths are wrong. You mustn't bear malice toward others.
Ramakrishna
A truly religious man should think that other religions also have many paths leading to the truth. One should always maintain an attitude of respect towards other religions. Dispute not, as you rest firmly on your own faith and opinion, allow others also equal liberty to stand by their own faith and opinion.
Ramakrishna
With sincerity and earnestness one can realize God through all religions. The Vaishnavas will realize God, and so will the Saktas, the Vedantists, and the Brahmos. The Mussalmans and Christians will realize Him too. All will certainly realize God if they are earnest and sincere.
Ramakrishna
Once a person has faith, he has achieved everything.
Ramakrishna
