Additional quotes by Ramakrishna

Right discrimination is of two kinds — analytical and synthetical. The first leads one from the phenomena to the Absolute Brahman, while by the second one knows how the Absolute Brahman appears as the universe. (862)

As water does not enter into a stone, so religious advice produces no impression on the heart of a worldly I man.

Lovers of God do not belong to any caste. … A brāhmin without this love is no longer a brāhmin. And a pariah with the love of God is no longer a pariah. Through bhakti an untouchable becomes pure and elevated.

When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom. - Ramakrishna
