Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
- If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.
- 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.
- When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited
- Through love one acquires renunciation and discrimination naturally.
- Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God Who is the soul of truth.
- Travel in all the four quarters of the earth, yet you will find nothing anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here.
- 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.
- Give up every thing to Him, resign yourself to Him and there will no trouble for you. Then you will come to know that every thing is done by His will.
- God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
- The goal can never be reached unless a man makes his mind strong and firmly resolves that he must realize God in this very birth, nay, in this very moment.
