“Shri Ramakrishna use to say, “As Long as I Live, so long do I learn”. That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.”

The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.

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.

You are strong, omnipotent, and omniscient. No matter that you have not expressed it yet, it is in you. All knowledge is in you, all power, all purity, and all freedom-why cannot you express this knowledge? Because you do not believe in it. Believe in it, and it must and will come out.

He who has infinite patience and infinite energy at his back, will alone succeed.

The best thermometer to the progress of a nation is its treatment of its women.

Talk to yourself atleast once in a Day.. Otherwise you may miss a meeting with an EXCELLENT person in this World.

True progress is slow but sure.

Man in his true nature is substance, soul, spirit.

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.

He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind – that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.

Liberty is the first condition of growth. It is wrong, a thousand times wrong, if any of you dares to say, ‘I will work out the salvation of this woman or child.

Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.

Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.

Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.

Have faith in yourself. You people were once the Vedic Rishis. Only, you have come in different forms, that’s all. I see it clear as daylight that you all have infinite power in you. Rouse that up; arise, arise – apply yourselves heart and soul, gird up your loins.

To get any reason out of the mass of incongruity we call human life, we have to transcend our reason, but we must do it scientifically, slowly, by regular practice, and we must cast off all superstition.

The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog – to wiggle along as far as he can without dying; or, to hang to life until death takes him.

How many must die before we can really have a free and true and peaceful society?

When the mind rests into its silent nature, it realise that love don’t come and go. Love can’t die.

There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.

We have beaten the living, but we cannot fight the dead.

I think being condemned to death is the only real distinction,” said Mathilde. “It is the only thing which cannot be bought.

Yes, they are carnal, both of them, love and death, and therein lies their terror and their great magic!

True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.
