More quotes by 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
A devotee who can call on God while living a householder's life is a hero indeed. God thinks: 'He is blessed indeed who prays to me in the midst of his worldly duties. He is trying to find me, overcoming a great obstacle -- pushing away, as it were, a huge block of stone weighing a ton. Such a man is a real hero.
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
The waves belong to the water. Does the water belong to the waves?
Ramakrishna
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward.
Ramakrishna
One should not think, 'My religion alone is the right path and other religions are false.' God can be realized by means of all paths. It is enough to have sincere yearning for God. Infinite are the paths and infinite are the opinions.
Ramakrishna
One man may read the Bhagavata by the light of a lamp, and another may commit a forgery by that very light but the lamp is unaffected. The sun sheds its light on the wicked as well as on the virtuous.
Ramakrishna
God cannot be realizxd if there is the slightest trace of pride.
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
When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.
Ramakrishna
Meditate upon the Knowledge and Bliss Eternal , and you will also have bliss. The Bliss indeed is eternal, only it is covered and obscured by ignorance. The less your attachment is towards the senses, the more will be your love towards God .
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
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
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 day, it was suddenly revealed to me that everything is pure spirit.
Ramakrishna
One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
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
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
Ramakrishna
The world is impermanent. One should constantly remember death.
Ramakrishna
