More quotes by 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
The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it.
Ramakrishna
The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
Ramakrishna
Only two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who are not encumbered at all with learning, that is to say, whose minds are not over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others and those who, after studying all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realise that they know nothing.
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
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Ramakrishna
Unalloyed love of God is the essential thing. All else is unreal.
Ramakrishna
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
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
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
Right discrimination is of two kinds analytical and synthetical. The first leads one from the phenomena to the Absolute Brahman, while by the second one knows how the Absolute Brahman appears as the universe.
Ramakrishna
The world is not impermanent if one lives there after knowing God.
Ramakrishna
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
Ramakrishna
Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God.
Ramakrishna
When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.
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
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
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
Whoever wants God intensely, finds Him. Go and verify it in your own life.
Ramakrishna
One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
Ramakrishna
