“There are both knowledge and ignorance in this world of maya. A paramahamsa is one, like a swan, can take the milk from a mixture of water and milk by separating the water from the milk; he who, like an ant, can take the sugar from a mixture of sugar and sand, leaving aside the sand.”
– Sri Ramakrishna
When there is too much work
“When there is too much work, one should still find time for meditation. Otherwise, meditation will never be possible – one will come to the end of one’s life without ever finding time for meditation. So one must call on Him even during the storms and stress of life.”
– Sri M.
Our main business
Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
– Thomas Carlyle
To err is human
To err is human; but how few know to lead an erring man?
– Sarada Devi
It is in the mind
It is in the mind alone that one feels pure and impure. A man first makes his own mind guilty and then sees another’s fault. Can you injure anybody by enumerating his faults? You only injure yourself.
– Sarada Devi
Always remember Sri Ramakrishna’s
Always remember Sri Ramakrishna’s saying that money is at the root of all the disasters you see in the world. Money can lure one’s mind into other temptations. Beware.
– Sarada Devi
Everything, no doubt, happens
Everything, no doubt, happens by God’s will, yet man must work because God expresses His will through man’s action. Do not relax your spiritual practice.
– Sarada Devi
If one sits alone
If one sits alone without any work, various thoughts may come into the mind.
– Sarada Devi
Do the Master’s work
Do the Master’s work, and along with that practice spiritual disciplines. Some amount of work keeps the mind free from idle thoughts.
– Sarada Devi
Whenever the mind goes
Whenever the mind goes after anything other than God, consider that as transient and surrender the mind at the sacred feet of the Lord.
– Sarada Devi
