There will never be a perfectly good or bad world, because the very idea is a contradiction in terms.

No more materialism, no more this egoism, I must become spiritual.

I am what I am, and what I am is always due to him; whatever in me or in my words is good and true and eternal came to me from his mouth, his heart, his soul. Sri Ramakrishna is the spring of this phase of the earth's religious life, of its impulses and activities. If I can show the world one glimpse of my Master, I shall not have lived in vain.

Father is the existence out of which everything comes; Son is that knowledge. It is in Christ that God will be manifest. God was everywhere, in all beings, before Christ; but in Christ we became conscious of Him. This is God. The third is bliss, the Holy Spirit.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

We never want Him. We say, "Lord, give me a fine house." We want the house, not Him. "Give me health! Save me from this difficulty!" When a man wants nothing but Him, [he gets Him].

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
