A few teachings of Sri Ramakrishna

Hence in living the life truly, one must put faith in words of those who meditate only upon God, who have seen God. If you seek legal advice, will you not consult lawyers that are in the profession? Surley you will not take the advice of the man in the street.

...there are some religious teachers who would use force, if necessary, on their disciples with the view to making them walk in the way of the Lord. These belong to the highest class.

Everybody is anxious to be a master. How many are there who would care to be disiples?

...the man who has realised God does not talk.

Many are they that are charmed with the beauty of the garden - its glorious flowers and sweetest odours - few seek the Lord of the garden! Which is the greater of the two - the garden or its Lord? Verily the garden is unreal so long as Death stalks in our midst; but the Lord of the garden is the one Reality.

...many good sayings are to be found in the holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practise the virtues taught in them.

Good and evil in creation are not so to Brahman. He is not to be judged by any human standard of good and evil.
