More quotes by Ramakrishna
Why does God allow evil in the world? To thicken the plot.
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 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
Have love for everyone, no one is other than you.
Ramakrishna
As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal.
Ramakrishna
God has created the world in play, as it were.
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
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 Man who works for others, without any selfish motive, really does good to himself.
Ramakrishna
I have no disciple. I am the servant of the servant of Rama .
Ramakrishna
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
Ramakrishna
The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.
Ramakrishna
One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
Ramakrishna
Imagine a limitless expanse of water: above and below, before and behind, right and left, everywhere there is water. In that water is placed a jar filled with water. There is water inside the jar and water outside, but the jar is still there. The 'I' is the jar.
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
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
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
Try to cultivate love of God. You are born as a human being only to attain divine love.
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
The magnetic needle always points to the north, and hence it is that sailing vessel does not lose her direction. So long as the heart of man is directed towards God, he cannot be lost in the ocean of worldliness.
Ramakrishna
