'I' and 'mine' — that is ignorance. 'Thou' and 'Thine' — that is Knowledge. A true devotee says: 'O God, Thou alone art the Doer; Thou alone doest all, I am a mere instrument; I do as Thou makest me do. All these — wealth, possessions, nay, the universe itself — belong to Thee. This house and these relatives are Thine alone, not mine. I am Thy servant; mine is only the right to serve Thee according to Thy bidding.'...... The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna
"Work, devotion, discrimination — each one is a path to reach union with God. With the same wholesouled devotion with which a devotee worships the Lord in the shrine, he must serve the Lord in the poor, in the sick, in the lowly." - Swami Brahmananda
Pray to the Lord to make your heart as pure as the star. As a result of sincere and regular japa and meditation you will find that the Lord will speak to you. All your desires will be fulfilled and you will experience pure bliss.
The kundalini will awaken in course of time. Do japa and meditation. It does not rise of itself. Continuous meditation will make the mind so steady that you will not feel inclined to give it up. When the mind is not in a mood to meditate, do not force it to do so. In such conditions, get up from the seat of meditation after making prostrations. Real meditation is of a spontaneous nature. . . . If meditation is not possible, do japa. Realization will come through japa.
Realization of God, or meditation, all these depend on the mind. Concentrate, and everything will come to pass.
Mind this, my child, one has to take refuge and wait on God’s mercy; then only he takes pity.
One should hear the scriptures during the early stages of spiritual discipline. After attaining God there is no lack of knowledge. Then the Divine Mother supplies it without fail.
A child spells out every word as he writes, but later on he writes fluently.
The goldsmith is up and doing while melting gold. As long as the gold hasn't melted, he works the bellows with one hand, moves the fan with the other, and blows through a pipe with his mouth. But the moment the gold melts and is poured into the mould, he is relieved of all anxiety.
Mere reading of the scriptures is not enough. A person cannot understand the true significance of the scriptures if he is attached to the world.
Though with intense delight I learnt many poems and dramas,
I have forgotten them all, entrapped in Krishna's love.
Keshab enjoys the world and practises yoga as well. Living in the world, he directs his mind to God.
