Ramakrishna quote: "God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man..."
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God. Ramakrishna
If a householder is a genuine devotee, he performs his duties without attachment; he surrenders the fruit of his work to God - his gain or loss, his pleasure or pain. Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (Abridged) Ramakrishna
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. Ramakrishna
You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God. Ramakrishna
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. Ramakrishna
God has revealed to me that only the Paramatman, whom the Vedas describe as the Pure Soul, is as immutable as Mount Sumeru, unattached, and beyond pain and pleasure. There is much confusion in this world of His maya. One can by no means say that 'this' will come after 'that' or 'this' will produce 'that'. Ramakrishna
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
Ramakrishna quote: "That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true..."
That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge. Ramakrishna
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
Ramakrishna quote: "There is no hope for a worldly man if he is not sincerely..."
There is no hope for a worldly man if he is not sincerely devoted to God. Ramakrishna
Ramakrishna quote: "When divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there..."
When divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low. Ramakrishna
What Brahman is cannot be described. All things in the world? the Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, the six systems of philosophy? have been defiled, like food that has been touched by the tongue, for they have been read or uttered by the tongue. Only one thing has not been defiled in this way, and that is Brahman. No one has ever been able to say what Brahman is. Ramakrishna
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
Ramakrishna quote: "Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone."
Bondage and Liberation are of the mind alone. Ramakrishna
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. Ramakrishna
