A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
RamakrishnaOne cannot completely get rid of the six passions: lust, anger, greed, and the like. Therefore one should direct them to God. If you must have desire and greed, then you should desire love of God and be greedy to attain Him.
RamakrishnaTravel in all the four quarters of the earth, you will find nothing (no true religion) anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here (i .e . in one 's own heart.)
