The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it.
RAMAKRISHNAThat is very good. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain that God without form is real and that God with form is also real.
