The physicians of one class feel the patients and go away, merely prescribing medicine. As they leave the room they simply ask the patient to take the medicine. They are the poorest class of physicians.
From Ramakrishna
If you want to go east, don't go west.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
Through love one acquires renunciation and discrimination naturally.
Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.
Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of the house.
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.
Many are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached.
