[Quotes] - Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa

The Great sayings of Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa

"That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true knowledge, all else is only a negation of knowledge." — Ramakrishna

"Men are like pillow-cases. The colour of one may be red, that of another blue, and that of the third black; but all contain the same cotton within. So it is with man; one is beautiful, another is ugly, a third holy , and a fourth wicked; but the Divine Being dwells in them all." — Ramakrishna

"You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God." — Ramakrishna

"As the snake is seperate from its slough, even so is the Spirit seperate from the body." — Ramakrishna

"Rain-water never stands on high ground, but runs down to the lowest level. So also the mercy of God remains in the hearts of the lowly, but drains off from those of the vain and the proud." — Ramakrishna
