Sri Ramakrishna Quotes and Sayings

• A man sees a thing in one way through reasoning and in an altogether different way when God Himself shows it to him.
   

• I found everything inside the room soaked, as it were, in Bliss—the Bliss of Satchidananda. I saw a wicked man in front of the Kali temple; but in him also I saw the Power of the Divine Mother vibrating.
   

• Loss of semen impairs the strength. But it does not injure one if one loses it in a dream. That semen one gets from food. What remains after nocturnal discharge is enough. But one must not know a woman.
   

• The semen that remains after nocturnal discharge is very 'refined'. The Lahas kept jars of molasses in their house. Every jar had a hole in it. After a year they found that the molasses had crystallized like sugar candy. The unnecessary watery part had leaked out through the hole.
   

• Live in the world but keep the pitcher steady on your head; that is to
  say, keep the mind firmly on God.
   

• A man cannot comprehend spiritual things with his ordinary
  intelligence. To understand them he must live in the company of holy persons. You learn to feel the pulse by living with a physician.
   

• Don't find fault with anyone, not even with an insect. As you
  pray to God for devotion, so also pray that you may not find fault with anyone.
