As thieves cannot enter a house if its inmates are wide awake, so if you
are always on your guard, no evil though will enter your mind to rob it of its goodness.
That is His play. The glory of light cannot be appreciated without darkness. Happiness cannot be understood without misery. Knowledge of good is possible because of knowledge of evil."
The human mind trying to fathom the nature of God is like an ant trying to carry away a mountain of sugar.
Women whether naturally good or not, whether chaste or unchaste, should always be regarded as images of the Blissful Divine Mother.
There is one whom you may call your own, and that is God
Dispute not. As you rest firmly in your own faith and opinion, allow others also equal liberty to stand by their own faith and opinion.
Look at the anvil of a blacksmith-how it is hammered and beaten; yet it moves not from its place. Let men learn patience and endurance from it.
A truly religious man should think that other religions also are paths leading to truth. We should always maintain an attitude of respect towards other religions
Religions are like so-many paths leading to the same goal, i.e., God. Man reaches his religious goal when he attains his highest moral development
Be in the world but not of it. Perform your duties as well you can, but do not count too much upon the fruits of your action. Rather, surrender them to God. try to feel as if you are only a tool in the hands of God.
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
By Ramakrishna Paramahans
