Here in India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone, the bed-rock, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built. Politics, power, and even intellect form a secondary consideration here. Religion, therefore, is the one consideration in India.

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.

Do not say, ‘You are bad’; say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!

The seeker's silence is the loudest form of prayer.

The Indian idea is that the soul is formless. Whatever is form must break some time or other.
