Shri Ramakrishna use to say, "As Long as I Live, so long do I learn". That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.

The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being.

All progress and power are already in every man; perfection is man's nature, only it is barred in and prevented from taking its proper course.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.

Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others; for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.

The greatest sin is to think that you are weak. No one is greater: realize that you are Brahman. Nothing has power except what you give it.
