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.

More quotes by Ramakrishna
I have no disciple. I am the servant of the servant of Rama .
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
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
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
God cannot be realizxd if there is the slightest trace of pride.
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
Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone.
Ramakrishna
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
Ramakrishna
When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.
Ramakrishna
If you meditate on your ideal, you will acquire its nature. If you think of God day and night, you will acquire the nature of God.
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
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
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
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
When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.
Ramakrishna
God has created the world in play, as it were.
Ramakrishna
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
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
When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.
Ramakrishna
Do not be small minded. Do not pray for gourds and pumpkins from God, when you should be asking for pure love and pure knowledge to dawn within every heart.
Ramakrishna
