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.

More quotes by Ramakrishna
Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God Who is the soul of truth.
Ramakrishna
Finish the few duties you have at hand, and then you will have peace.
Ramakrishna
We laugh at the efforts of the musk deer to find the source of the scent which comes from itself and despair at our efforts to find the peace which is our essence.
Ramakrishna
If you spent one-tenth of the time you devoted to distractions like chasing women or making money to spiritual practice, you would be enlightened in a few years.
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
Many people think they cannot have knowledge or understanding of God without reading books. But hearing is better than reading, and seeing is better than hearing. Hearing about Benares is different from reading about it but seeing Benares is different from either hearing or reading.
Ramakrishna
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward.
Ramakrishna
The world is impermanent. [All things change. Knowing this helps you see the end of any difficulty and thereby have hope.]
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
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
Forgiveness is the true nature of the ascetic.
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
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
One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
Ramakrishna
I have no disciple. I am the servant of the servant of Rama .
Ramakrishna
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Ramakrishna
The supreme purpose and goal for human life... is to cultivate love.
Ramakrishna
The breeze of grace is always blowing on you. You have to open the sails and your boat will move forward.
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
