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.

More quotes by Ramakrishna

Image
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
Image
The world is not impermanent if one lives there after knowing God.
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
When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.
Ramakrishna
Image
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
Image
The breeze of grace is always blowing set your sail to catch that breeze.
Ramakrishna
Image
When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.
Ramakrishna
Image
Dislodging a green nut from it's shell is almost impossible, but let it dry and the lightest tap will do it.
Ramakrishna
Image
The breeze of grace is always blowing on you. You have to open the sails and your boat will move forward.
Ramakrishna
Image
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
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
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
Image
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
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
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
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
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
Image
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
Image
One day, it was suddenly revealed to me that everything is pure spirit.
Ramakrishna
Image
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.
