Sri Ramakrishna

“The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail.”

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

“When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.”

“Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond.”

“Bondage is of the mind, and freedom too is of the mind.”

“God is in all men, but all men are not in God.”

“The greatest religion is to be true to this dharma; neglect it and you neglect your own welfare.”

“The true self is not diminished by praise nor increased by blame.”

“The supreme art is to break the ego without destroying the person.”

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

“Do not seek enlightenment unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond.”
