RamakrishnaWhen the divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.
RamakrishnaOnly two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who are not encumbered at all with learning, that is to say, whose minds are not over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others; and those who, after studying all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realise that they know nothing.
Ramakrishna
