I am a slave of Ramakrishna, who left his work to be done by me and will not give me rest till I have finished it. And oh, how shall I speak of him? Oh, his love for me!

However we may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the Soul is there and is never injured. We are that Infinite.

Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.

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.

My bones are destined to make corals in the Ganga.

We must approach religion with reverence and with love, and our heart will stand up and say, this is truth, and this is untruth.

I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.
