A man develops a subtle power as a result of the strict observance of celibacy for twelve years. Then he can understand and grasp very subtle things which otherwise elude his intellect. Through that understanding the aspirant can have direct vision of God. That pure understanding alone enables him to realize Truth.
RamakrishnaMore 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.
RamakrishnaLonging is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
RamakrishnaOne cannot attain divine knowledge till one gets rid of pride. Water does not stay on the top of a mound; but into low land it flows in torrents from all sides.
