Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa – The Great Master

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa (born as Gadadhar Chattopadhyay), was a famous mystic of India. His religious school of thought led to the formation of the Ramakrishna Mission by his chief disciple Swami Vivekananda.

On 18 February, 1836, Ramakrishna Paramahansa was born at Kamarpukur, in Bengal. The child was named Gadadhar. He later grew to become Sri Ramakrishna, who was described by Romain Rolland as "the perfection of two thousand years of the spiritual life of three hundred million people".

Sri Ramakrishna taught the world that God can be realized through all religions. This great truth came to him through his direct spiritual experience. Life of Ramakrishna proclaims that all religions lead to the same God.

Let’s read some great quotes of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa.

      

Ø “Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God.”

Ø “As long as I live, so long do I learn.”

Ø “Finish the few duties you have at hand, and then you will have peace.”

Ø “Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.”

Ø “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.”

Ø “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.”

Ø “Can he rectify false weight whose own scales are uncertain? Can you enlighten your neighbor while you yourself have no light?”

Ø “When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.”

Ø “One man may read the Bhagavata by the light of a lamp, and another may commit a forgery by that very light; but the lamp is unaffected. The sun sheds its light on the wicked as well as on the virtuous.”

Ø “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.”
