Additional quotes by Ramakrishna

Visit not miracle-mongers and those who exhibit occult powers. These men are stragglers from the path of Truth. Their minds have become entangled in psychic powers, which are like veritable meshes in the way of the pilgrim to Brahman. Beware of these powers, and desire them not. (372)

He who has realized God does not look upon a woman with the eye of lust; so he is not afraid of her. He perceives clearly that women are but so many aspects of the Divine Mother. He worships them all as the Mother Herself.

As for me, I consider myself as a speck of the dust of the devotee's feet.

The vanities of all others may gradually die out, but the vanity of a saint regarding his sainthood is hard indeed to wear away. (110) - Ramakrishna
