Selected Sayings of Sri Ramakrishna 2

 

4.) Little children play with dolls in the outer room just as they like,

without any care or fear or restraint; but as soon as their mother comes

in, they throw aside their dolls and run to her crying, " Mamma, mamma. "

You too, O men, are now playing in this material world, infatuated with

the dolls of wealth, honor, fame, etc. and do not feel any fear or

anxiety. If, however, you once see your Divine Mother, you will not

afterwards find pleasure in these. Throwing them all aside, you will run

to Her.

 

 

5.) There are pearls in deep sea, but you must hazard all perils to get

them. If you fail to get at them by a single dive, do not conclude that

the sea is without them. Dive again and again, and you are sure to be

rewarded in the end. So also in the quest for the Lord, if your first

attempt to see Him proves fruitless, do not lose heart. Persevere in the

attempt, and you are sure to realize Him at last.
