A boat may stay in water, but water should not stay in boat. A spiritual aspirant may live in the world, but the world should not live within him.

More quotes by Ramakrishna
The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
Ramakrishna
The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.
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
The breeze of grace is always blowing set your sail to catch that breeze.
Ramakrishna
The world is impermanent. [All things change. Knowing this helps you see the end of any difficulty and thereby have hope.]
Ramakrishna
More are the names of God and infinite are the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through them you will realise Him.
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
Finish the few duties you have at hand, and then you will have peace.
Ramakrishna
Why does God allow evil in the world? To thicken the plot.
Ramakrishna
If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.
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
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
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
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
Forgiveness is the true nature of the ascetic.
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
If a man prays to Thee with a yearning heart, he can reach Thee, through Thy grace, by any path.
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
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
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
