Divine Messages - 47 : Quotes of Sri Ramakrishna


Some quotes of Sri Ramakrishna

·         Only god is truth, everything else is false.
·         The magnetic needle always points to the North, and hence it is that the sailing vessel does not lose her direction. So long as the heart of man is directed towards God, he cannot be lost in the ocean of worldliness.
·         The one who has created the laws of nature also has the powers to break the laws of nature.
·         He who has faith has everything, and he who lacks faith lacks everything. It is the faith in the name of the Lord that works wonders, FAITH IS LIFE & DOUBT IS DEATH.
·         The sum and substance of the whole matter is that a man must love God, must be restless for Him. It doesn't matter whether you believe in God with form or God without form. You may or may not believe that God incarnates Himself as man. But you will realize Him if you have that yearning. Then He himself will let you know what He is like. If you must be mad, why should you be mad for the things of the world? If you must be mad, be mad for God alone.
·         Man’s sufferings and worries spring only from his persistent thought that he is the doer.
·         Once you know maya, it runs away, it can no more influence you.
·         Do you know how a lover of God feels? His attitude is: "0 God, Thou art the Master, and I am Thy servant. Thou art the Mother, and I am Thy child." Or again: "Thou art my Father and Mother. Thou art the Whole, and I am a part." He doesn't like to say, "I am Brahman."
·         You can also ask for Brahma Jnana to divine mother.
