Sri Ramakrishna Quotes and Sayings

• Everyone is going toward God. They will all realize Him if they have
  sincerity and longing of heart.

• One must call on God with a longing heart. One must learn from the guru how God can be realized. Only if the guru himself has attained Perfect Knowledge can he show the way.
   

• A man, gets rid of all desires when he has Perfect Knowledge. He becomes like a child five years old. Sages like Dattatreya and Jadabharata had the nature of a child.
   

• What a man seeks is very near him. Still he wanders about from place to place.
   

• As your attachment to the world diminishes, your spiritual knowledge will increase. Attachment to the world means attachment to 'woman and gold.
   

• Keep up the practice and you will find that your mind will follow in
  whatever direction you lead it. The mind is like a white cloth just returned from the laundry. It will be red if you dip it in red dye and blue if you dip it in blue. It will have whatever colour you dip it in.
