Mother Sarada Devi

[Guest guest]

1.

 

1. Sri Ramakrishna left me behind to manifest the Motherhood of Good

to the world.

 

2. I can't claim myself when one draws near me and calls me Mother.

 

3. Holy men are born on earth to show people the way to God. They

teach differently. There are many paths leading to the same goal.

Therfore the teachings of all the saints are true.

 

4. The aim of life is to realise God and remain immersed in

contemplation of Him. God alone is real and everything else is false.

 

5. One realises God in proportion to the intensity of one's feeling

for Him. He who is really eager to cross the ocean of the world will

somehow break his bonds. No one can entangle him. The Master (Sri

Ramakrishna) is the embodiment of all deities and of all mantras.

REally and truly, one can worship through him all gods and goddesses.

 

6. The mind is no better than a wild elephant. It runs with the

wind. Therefore one should always discriminate and strive hard for

the realisation of God.

 

7. Practise meditation, and by and by your mind will be so calm and

fixed that you will find it hard to keep away from meditation.

 

8. Whenever the mind goes after anything other than God, consider

that as transient and surrender the mind at the sacred feet of the

Lord.

 

9. 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.

 

10. It is in the mind alone that one feels pure or impure. A Man

first make his own mind guilty and then see another's fault. Can you

injure anybody by enumerating his faults? You only injure yourself.
