Quotations
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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.
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
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.
Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of the house.
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn, out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
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.
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.
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
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.
