Sri Ramakrishna

“Do not seek anything from God except His love.”

“Bondage and liberation are of the mind alone.”

“As many faiths, so many paths.”

“The winds of grace are always blowing; it is for us to raise our sails.”

“Wherever there is a living being, there is Shiva.”

“Worry is a waste; trust is the way.”

“He who can humble himself before all is loved by God.”

“Pride is the cause of all our miseries.”

“Cry to the Lord with an intensely yearning heart and you will certainly see Him.”

“When the ego dies, all troubles cease.”

“God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.”

“Many are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached.”

“The breeze of grace is always blowing on you. You have to open the sails and your boat will move forward.”

“Through love one acquires renunciation and discrimination naturally.”

“Love is the easiest of all, for it requires no external rite.”

“If you have to be vain, be vain of God's love.”

“Common men talk bagfuls of religion but do not practice even a grain of it. The wise man speaks a little even though his whole life is religion expressed in action.”

“When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.”

“It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.”
