“Do all your duties, but keep your mind on God. Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna,p.81”

“God has revealed to me that only the Paramatman, whom the Vedas describe as the Pure Soul, is as immutable as Mount Sumeru, unattached, and beyond pain and pleasure. There is much confusion in this world of His maya. One can by no means say that 'this' will come after 'that' or 'this' will produce 'that'.”

“There is no hope for a worldly man if he is not sincerely devoted to God.”

“Common men talk bagfuls of religion but do not practise even a grain of it. The wise man speaks a little, even though his whole life is religion expressed in action.”

“Through selfless work, love of God grows in heart.”

“The Man who works for others, without any selfish motive, really does good to himself.”
