The spiritually minded belong to a caste of their own, beyond all social conventions.
---Ramkrishna
He alone
enters the Kingdom of Heaven who is not a thief of his own thought. In
other words, guilelessness and simple faith are the roads to that
Kingdom.
---Ramkrishna
women
whether naturally good or not, whether chaste or unchaste, should always
be regarded as images of the blissful Divine Mother.
---Ramkrishna
Don't find
fault with anyone, not even with an insect. As you pray to God for
devotion, so also pray that you may not find fault with anyone.
---Ramkrishna
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.
---Ramkrishna
It is said
that truthfulness alone constitutes the spiritual of the Kali Yuga
(i.e. modern age). If a mans clings tenaciously to truth, he ultimately
realizes God.
---Ramkrishna
Visit not miracle-mongers and those who exhibit occult powers. These men are stragglers from the path of truth.
---Ramkrishna
If there
is a small hole at the bottom of a jar of water. the whole water will
leak out. Similarly, if there is the smallest tinge of worldliness in
the aspirant, all his exertions will come to naught.
---Ramkrishna
The soiled
mirror never reflects the rays of the sun; similarly those who are
impure and unclean at heart and are deluded by Maya never perceive the
glory of the Lord. But the pure in heart see the Lord as the clear
mirror reflects the sun.
---Ramkrishna
Money can fetch you bread alone. Do not consider it as your sole end and aim.
---Ramkrishna
He is
truly a man to whom money is only a servant; but, on the other hand,
those who do not know how to make a proper use of it, hardly deserve to
be called men.
---Ramkrishna
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.
---Ramkrishna
The young
bamboo can be easily bent, but the full grown bamboo breaks when it is
bent with force. It is easy to bend the young heart towards God, but the
untrained heart of the old escapes the hold whenever it is so drawn.
---Ramkrishna
Men are of
two classes-men in name only (Manush) and the awakened men (Man-hunsh).
Those who thirst after God alone belong to the latter class; those who
are mad after ‘woman and gold’ are all ordinary men-men in name
only.
---Ramkrishna
Rain water
never stands on high ground, but runs down to the lowest level. So also
the mercy of God remains in the hearts of the lowly, but drains off
from those of the vain and the proud.
---Ramkrishna
