When one has love for God, one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
RamakrishnaIt is on account of the ego that one is not able to see God. In front of the door of God's mansion lies the stump of ego. One cannot enter the mansion without jumping over the stump.
RamakrishnaThe tree laden with fruits always bends low. If you wish to be great, be lowly and meek.
RamakrishnaIf 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.
RamakrishnaDwell, O mind, within yourself; Enter no other's home. If you but seek there, you will find All you are searching for. God, the true Philosopher's Stone, Who answers every prayer, Lies hidden deep within your heart, The richest gem of all. How many pearls and precious stones Are scattered all about The outer court that lies before The chamber of your heart!
Ramakrishna
