Many people think they cannot have knowledge or understanding of God without reading books. But hearing is better than reading, and seeing is better than hearing. Hearing about Benares is different from reading about it; but seeing Benares is different from either hearing or reading.
RamakrishnaThe way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love.
RamakrishnaWhen one has love for God, one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
Ramakrishna
