If you meditate on your ideal, you will acquire its nature. If you think of God day and night, you will acquire the nature of God.
RamakrishnaGod is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
RamakrishnaThe compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
RamakrishnaIt's enough to have faith in one aspect of God. You have faith in God without form. That is very good. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain that God without form is real and that God with form is also real. Then hold fast to whichever faith appeals to you.
Ramakrishna
