Sri Ramakrishna sayings

[Dipika]

A man who finds all the hairs of his body standing on end at the bare mention of Srî Hari's name, through sheer ecstasy, and who sheds tears of love on hearing the name of God, he has reached his last birth.

[Dipika]

It is said that truthfulness alone constitutes the spiritual discipline of the Kaliyuga (i.e. modern age). If a man clings tenaciously to truth he ultimately realizes God.

The iron must be heated several times and hammered a hundred  times before it becomes good steel.
Then only it becomes fit to be made in to a sharp sword and can be bent in any way you like.
So man must be heated several times in the furnace of tribulations and hammered with the persecutions of the world  before he becomes pure and humble.

[Dipika]

 There are pearls in deep sea, but you must hazard all perils to get them. If you fail to get at them by a single dive, do not conclude that the sea is without them. Dive again and again, and you are sure to be rewarded in the end. So also in the quest for the Lord, if your first attempt to see Him proves fruitless, do not lose heart. Persevere in the attempt, and you are sure to realize Him at last.


The young monkey clings to its mother when she moves about.
The kitten on the other hand mews piteously,and the mother grasps it by the neck.
If the young monkey lets go its hold of its mother,it falls and is hurt.
This is because it relies upon its own strength.but the kitten runs no such risk,
for the mother herself carries it from place to place.
such is the difference between self-reliance and entire resignation to the will of god.

While raising a building, the scaffolding is indispensable; but when the work is completed no one feels the necessity of it. So also image worship is necessary in the beginning but not afterwards


ALLAH MALIK!

[Dipika]

'Woman and Gold' (Kamini and Kanchana) have drowned the whole world in sin. Woman is disarmed when you view her as the manifestation of the Divine Mother. God cannot be seen so long as one's passion for 'woman and gold' is not extinguished.

As dry leaves are blown hither and tither by the wind,without any choice of their own,
so those who depend upon god move in harmony with his will, and leave themselves in his hands with perfect non-resistance.

Extreme longing is the surest way to God-vision. One should have faith like an innocent child,
and a child's longing for its mother
