Quotations
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn, out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall be.
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
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.
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.
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
