Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
RamakrishnaThat knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge.
RamakrishnaI have now come to a stage of realization in which I see that God is walking in every human form and manifesting Himself alike through the sage and the sinner, the virtuous and the vicious. Therefore when I meet different people I say to myself, “God in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous.
