It'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.
RamakrishnaMany good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
RamakrishnaLonging is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
RamakrishnaHe who is called Krishna is also Siva and the Primal Sakti...He again, who is called Jesus and Allah. Truth is one.
RamakrishnaThe rishis of old attained the Knowledge of Brahman. One cannot have this so long as there is the slightest trace of worldliness. How hard the rishis laboured ! Early in the morning they would go away from the hermitage, and would spend the whole day in solitude, meditating on Brahman. At night they would return to the hermitage and eat a little fruit or roots. They kept their mind aloof from the objects of sight, hearing, touch, and other things of a worldly nature. Only thus did they realize Brahman as their own inner conciousness.
