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 (Ramakrishna Quotes)
The Sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it (Ramakrishna Quotes)
The vanities of all others may gradually die out, but the vanity of a saint regarding his sainthood is hard indeed to wear away (Ramakrishna Quotes)
If you feel proud, let it be in the thought that you are the servant of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of a child. They are always a child before Him; so they are free from pride. All their strength is of God and not their own. It belongs to Him and comes from Him (Ramakrishna Quotes)
As a piece of rope, when burnt, retains its form, but cannot serve to bind, so is the ego which is burnt by the fire of supreme Knowledge (Ramakrishna Quotes)
That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge (Ramakrishna Quotes)

The young bamboo can be easily bent, but the full grown bamboo breaks when it is bent with force. It is easy to bend the young heart towards God, but the untrained heart of the old escapes the hold whenever it is so drawn (Ramakrishna Quotes)
A boat may stay in water, but water should not stay in boat. A spiritual aspirant may live in the world, but the world should not live within him (Ramakrishna Quotes)
As a boy holding to a post or a pillar whirls about it with headlong speed without any fear or falling, so perform your worldly duties, fixing your hold firmly upon God, and you will be free from danger (Ramakrishna Quotes)
If a white cloth is stained even with a small spot, the stain appears very ugly indeed. So the smallest fault of a holy man becomes painfully prominent (Ramakrishna Quotes)
As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal (Ramakrishna Quotes)
One does not care for the cage when the bird has flown away from it. And when the bird of life flies away, no one cares for the body left behind (Ramakrishna Quotes)
In a potter's shop there are vessels of different shapes and forms - pots, jars, dishes, plates, etc., But all are made of the same clay. So God is one, but He is worshipped in different ages and climes under different names and aspects (Ramakrishna Quotes)
It is very pleasant to scratch an itching ring worm, but the sensation one gets afterwards is very painful and intolerable. In the same way the pleasures of this world are very attractive in the beginning, but their consequences are terrible to contemplate and hard to endure (Ramakrishna Quotes)
Sunlight is one and the same wherever it falls; but only a bright surface like that of water, or of a mirror reflects it fully. So is the light Divine. It falls equally and impartially on all hearts, but the pure and pious hearts of holy men receive and reflect that light well (Ramakrishna Quotes)
Brahman is beyond mind and speech, beyond concentration and meditation, beyond the knower, the known and knowledge, beyond even the conception of the real and unreal. In short, It is beyond all relativity (Ramakrishna Quotes)
With the divine Knowledge of Advaita (non duality) in you, do whatever you wish; for then no evil can ever come out of you (Ramakrishna Quotes)
The waves belong to the water. Does the water belong to the waves? (Ramakrishna Quotes)
Great men have the nature of a child (Ramakrishna Quotes)
Infinite are the paths and infinite the opinions (Ramakrishna Quotes)
Knowledge leads to unity, but ignorance to diversity (Ramakrishna Quotes)
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward (Ramakrishna Quotes)
The breeze of grace is always blowing; set your sail to catch that breeze (Ramakrishna Quotes)
What is the use of merely listening to lectures? The real thing is practice (Ramakrishna Quotes)
When you meditate, go into the solitude of a forest, or a quiet corner, and enter into the chamber of your heart. And always keep your power of discrimination awake (Ramakrishna Quotes)
You must know that there are different tastes. There are also different powers of digestion... different temperaments... differences in the capacity to comprehend (Ramakrishna Quotes)
