The world is impermanent. [All things change. Knowing this helps you see the end of any difficulty and thereby have hope.]
RamakrishnaGod 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.
RamakrishnaAs a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal.
