Quote

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.

One cannot be spiritual as long as one has shame, hatred, or fear.
Ramakrishna

Ramakrishna
Image
If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you.
Ramakrishna
Image
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Ramakrishna
Image
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
Image
The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
Ramakrishna
Image
It is very pleasant to scratch an itching ring-worm, but the sensation one gets afterwards is very painful and intolerable. In the same way the pleasures of this world are very attractive in the beginning, but their consequences are terrible to contemplate and hard to endure.
Ramakrishna
Image
Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.
Ramakrishna
Image
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
Ramakrishna
Image
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.
Ramakrishna
Image
God has created the world in play, as it were.
Ramakrishna
Image
Whoever wants God intensely, finds Him. Go and verify it in your own life.
Ramakrishna
Image
The breeze of grace is always blowing set your sail to catch that breeze.
Ramakrishna
Image
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
Image
I have no disciple. I am the servant of the servant of Rama .
Ramakrishna
Image
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
Image
Why does God allow evil in the world? To thicken the plot.
Ramakrishna
