Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the
world. Be mad with the love of God.
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.
When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited
Through love one acquires renunciation and discrimination
naturally.
Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God
Who is the soul of truth.
Travel in all the four quarters of the earth, yet you
will find nothing anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here.
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If
you say 'I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me' free you shall
be.
Give up everything to Him, resign yourself to Him and
there will no trouble for you. Then you will come to know that everything is
done by His will.
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is
why we suffer.
The goal can never be reached unless a man makes his mind
strong and firmly resolves that he must realize God in this very birth, nay, in
this very moment.

“What is the
secret of success? Right decisions. How so you make right decisions?
Experience. How do you gain experience? Wrong decision.”
Swami Vivekananda, (1863-1902)
"We believe that every being is divine, is God. Every soul
is a sun covered over with clouds of ignorance; the difference between soul and
soul is owing to the difference in density of these layers of clouds."
First,
believe in the world—that there is meaning behind everything.
Don't look
back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and
infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
This is the
first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay
the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You
will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.
Tell the
truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is
too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner
the better.
This life
is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine;
no matter, the soul is stronger.
This I have
seen in life—those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at
every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only
disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
“Face the
brutes.” That is a lesson for all life—face the terrible, face it boldly. Like
the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.
Those who
work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their
absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth—Brahman. Those who work
at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
I, for one,
thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone
anything they really deserve.
The
whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of
you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you
free.
Fear is
death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear is
wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have
proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.
Why are
people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and
dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves.
We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.
As long as
we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with
us; but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes; of what can we be
afraid?
There is
one thing to be remembered: that the assertion—I am God—cannot be made with
regard to the sense-world.
All that is
real in me is God; all that is real in God is I. The gulf between God and me is
thus bridged. Thus by knowing God, we find that the kingdom of heaven is within
us.
First
get rid of the delusion “I am the body”, then only will we want real
knowledge.
What the
world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one
burning love, selfless. That love will make every word tell like a
thunderbolt.
God is
merciful to those whom He sees struggling heart and soul for realization. But
remain idle, without any struggle, and you will see that His grace will never
come.
We have to
go back to philosophy to treat things as they are. We are suffering from our
own karma. It is not the fault of God. What we do is our own fault, nothing
else. Why should God be blamed?
Fill the
brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you,
and out of that will come great work.
Who makes
us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep
that it is dark.
Desire,
ignorance, and inequality—this is the trinity of bondage.
We must
have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery;
when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be
indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
Every
action that helps us manifest our divine nature more and more is good; every
action that retards it is evil.
We reap
what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the
blame, none has the praise.
Are great
things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.
Great work
requires great and persistent effort for a long time. … Character has to be established
through a thousand stumbles.
Even the
greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the
intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their
taste.
Those who
grumble at the little thing that has fallen to their lot to do will grumble at
everything. Always grumbling they will lead a miserable life…. But those who do
their duty putting their shoulder to the wheel will see the light, and higher
and higher duties will fall to their share.
Learning
and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart
that is the seat of all power.
Each work
has to pass through these stages—ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance.
Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood.
Watch
people do their most common actions; these are indeed the things that will tell
you the real character of a great person.
“Comfort”
is no test of truth; on the contrary, truth is often far from being
“comfortable”.
Whenever we
attain a higher vision, the lower vision disappears of itself.
We came to
enjoy; we are being enjoyed. We came to rule; we are being ruled. We came to
work; we are being worked. All the time, we find that. And this comes into
every detail of our life.
We are ever
free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul,
free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be
free in a minute.
A few
heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a
mob in a century.
Stand as a
rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self (atman), the God of the
universe.
Stand upon
the Self, only then can we truly love the world. Take a very high stand;
knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the
panorama of the world.
"I am
the thread that runs through all these pearls," and each pearl is a
religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the
thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely
unconscious of it.
Stand up,
be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own
shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the
strength and succor you want is withinyourselves. Therefore, make your own
future.
It is the
patient building of character, the intense struggle to realize the truth, which
alone will tell in the future of humanity.
If there is
one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting
like a bombshell upon masses of ignorance, it is the word “fearlessness.”
Be a hero.
Always say, “I have no fear.” Tell this to everyone—“Have no fear.”
The world
is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it
the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through
concentration.
Work and
worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and
illusion.
The powers
of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself; as the
darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so
will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
It is the
cheerful mind that is persevering. It is the strong mind that hews its way
through a thousand difficulties.
The mind is
but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind
and words.
All
knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite
library of the universe is in our own mind.
Knowledge
can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to
know.
However we
may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the Soul is there and
is never injured. We are that Infinite.
Perfection
is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are
trying to manifest that infinity.
Blows are
what awaken us and help to break the dream. They show us the insufficiency of
this world and make us long to escape, to have freedom.
So long as
there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A
perfect, free being cannot have any desire.
The more
you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to
be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to
be free.
The Self
when it appears behind the universe is called God. The same Self when it
appears behind this little universe—the body—is the soul.
As body,
mind, or soul, you are a dream; you really are Being, Consciousness, Bliss (satchidananda).
You are the God of this universe.
The essence
of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that
Being in full, not a part of that Being.
As soon as
I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep
it nice, at the expense of other bodies; then you and I become separate.
Truth does
not pay homage to any society, ancient or modern. Society has to pay homage to
Truth or die.
If
superstition enters, the brain is gone.
Superstition
is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.
A
tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it;
and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly
about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
God is
self-evident, impersonal, omniscient, the Knower and the Master of nature, the
Lord of all. He is behind all worship and it is being done according to Him,
whether we know it or not.
As soon as
you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The
same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed
into something good and beautiful.
Delusion
will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of
ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared
and the sun alone shines.
Come out
into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can
the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?
Come out
into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out
your arms and embrace it with love. If you every felt you wanted to do that,
you have felt God.
This is no
world. It is God Himself. In delusion we call it world.
Understanding
human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It
is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by
knowing God can we understand human nature.
This is the
great lesson that we are here to learn through myriads of births and heavens
and hells—that there is nothing to be asked for, desired for, beyond one’s
spiritual Self (atman).
Perfection
does not come from belief or faith. Talk does not count for anything. Parrots
can do that. Perfection comes through selfless work.
Strength is
the sign of vigor, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, and
the sign of everything that is good. As long as the body lives, there must be
strength in the body, strength in the mind, strength in the hand.
Impurity is
a mere super imposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the
real you is already perfect, already strong.
If you want
to have life, you have to die every moment for it. Life and death are only
different expressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints;
they are the falling and the rising of the same wave, and the two form one
whole.
Astrology
and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as
soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician,
take good food, and rest.
Religion as
a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind
can have.
The
varieties of religious belief are an advantage, since all faiths are good, so
far as they encourage us to lead a religious life. The more sects there are,
the more opportunities there are for making a successful appeal to the divine
instinct in all of us.
Be
perfectly resigned, perfectly unconcerned; then alone can you do any true work.
No eyes can see the real forces; we can only see the results. Put out self,
forget it; just let God work, it is His business.
Look upon
every man, woman, and everyone as God. You cannot help anyone, you can only
serve: serve the children of the Lord, serve the Lord Himself, if you have the
privilege.
Are you
unselfish? That is the question. If you are, you will be perfect without
reading a single religious book, without going into a single church or temple.
Nature,
body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is
in nature, is born and dies; but the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born
and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.
The less
passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and
the more the amount of work we can do. When we let loose our feelings, we waste
so much energy, shatter our nerves, disturb our minds, and accomplish very
little work.
Knowledge
can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to
know.
There is no
help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the
silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself…. Burst your own cocoon and
come out aw the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see
Truth.
Have you
got the will to surmount mountain-high obstructions? If the whole world stands
against you sword in hand, would you still dare to do what you think is right?
Purity,
patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success and, above all,
love.
Our first
duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in
ourselves first and then in God. Those who have no faith in themselves can never
have faith in God.
Every
individual is a center for the manifestation of a certain force. This force has
been stored up as the resultant of our previous works, and each one of us is
born with this force at our back.
Why are
people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and
dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything ourselves.
We want a Personal God, a Savior or a Prophet to do everything for us.
I fervently
wish no misery ever came near anyone; yet it is that alone that gives us an
insight into the depths of our lives, does it not? In our moments of anguish,
gates barred forever seem to open and let in many a flood of light.
Religion
has no business to formulate social laws and insist on the difference between
beings, because its aim and end is to obliterate all such fictions and
monstrosities.
Is there
any sex-distinction in the Atman (Self)? Out with the differentiation between
man and woman—all is Atman! Give up the identification with the body, and stand
up!
He whom the
sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts; the voice
that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice
was wrong.
The
essential thing in religion is making the heart pure; the Kingdom of Heaven is
within us, but only the pure in heart can see the King. While we think of the
world, it is only the world for us; but let us come to it with the feeling that
the world is God, and we shall have God.
