Some sayings of Sri Ramakrishna.
·
He
is born in vain who, having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does
not attempt to realize God in this very life.
·
You
see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you
therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? O
man, because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that
there is no God.
·
One
cannot have the vision of God as long as one has these three – shame, hatred,
and fear.
·
Be
not a traitor in your thoughts. Be sincere; act according to your
thoughts; and you shall surely succeed. Pray with a sincere and simple
heart, and your prayers will be heard.
·
Do
not let worldly thoughts and anxieties disturb your mind. Do everything
that is necessary in the proper time, and let your mind be always fixed on God.
·
You
should remember that the heart of the devotee is the abode of God. He
dwells, no doubt, in all beings, but He especially manifests Himself in the
heart of the devotee. The heart of the devotee is the drawing room of
God.
