"The mind is like a white cloth; it takes the color you dip it into."
This great message was given by a great saint and thinker of india, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa. He was born on 18 February 1836 in Kamarpukur Village, Hooghly District, West Bengal. He was guru of wellknown hindu monk and philosopher Swami vivekananda.
"You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? O man, because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God." Such a simple way to explain existance of god.
Today's world in which people’s faith in traditional religions has been considerably reduced by the disbelief, materialism and scientific thinking, his lessons can lead us to true path.Today on the occassion of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa Jayanti, I would like to share few of his enlightening messages:
- All regligions take us to same path ( God is One, but Paths are Many)
- Emphasiz on Simplicity, Faith (childlike faith), Devotion and Selfless love rather than ritual knowledge
- Purity of heart (free from greed, jealousy, and ego) is very important
- Power of holy name comes by constantly repeating the name of God
His legacy continues through the Ramakrishna Mission, spreading his universal message of love, service, and self-realization.
I would like to conclude here with few of his simple but inspiring quotes:
"God listens to sincere prayer"
"God realization is possible for all"
"Serving humanity is serving God"
