In this age, work
without devotion to God has no legs to stand upon. It is like a
foundation on sand. First cultivate devotion. All other things---
schools, dispensaries, etc. -- will, if you like, be added to you. First
devotion, then work. Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is
helpless and cannot stand.
---Ramkrishna
If you
say, 'I am a sinner', eternally, you will remain a sinner to all
eternity. you ought rather to repeat, 'I am not bound, I am not bound.
Who can bind me ? I am son of God, the King of kings'.
---Ramkrishna
He who
thinks that he is a Jiva, verily remains as a Jiva, but he who considers
himself to be God, verily becomes a God. As one thinks, So does one
become.
---Ramkrishna
Do not let worldly thoughts and anxieties disturb your mind.
---Ramkrishna
Purify the spectacles of your mind, you will see that the world is God.
---Ramkrishna
As the dawn heralds the Sun, so sincerity, unselfishness, purity and righteousness precede the advent of the Lord.
---Ramkrishna
The more
is a man's attachment to the world, the less is he likely to attain
Knowledge. The less his attachment to the world, the more is the
probability of his gaining Knowledge.
---Ramkrishna
Give up
everything to Him, resign yourself to Him, and there will be no more
trouble for you. Then you will come to know that everything is done by
His will.
---Ramkrishna
Meditate
on God either in an obscure corner, or in the solitude of forests, or
within the silent sanctuary of your own heart.
---Ramkrishna
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.
---Ramkrishna
As soft
clay easily takes an impression, but not hard stone, so also Divine
wisdom impresses itself on the heart of a devotee, but not on a bound
soul.
---Ramkrishna
The ego
that asserts, 'I am the servant of God' is the characteristic of the
true devotee. It is the ego of Vidya (Knowledge), and is called the
'ripe' ego.
---Ramkrishna
The companionship of the holy and the wise is one of the main elements of spiritual progress.
---Ramkrishna
That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge.
---Ramkrishna
Wherein is the strength of a devotee? He is a child of God, and his devotional tears are his mightiest weapon.
---Ramkrishna
