Ramakrishnananda (13 July 1863 – 21 August 1911) was one of the direct disciples of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Known for his “Gurubhakti” [Service to the Guru], he served the Baranagore Math for 12 years without missing a single day.
Contentment is the only watchword that can insure us a safe passage through adverse circumstances.God is good.God does all. Therefore,He can do nothing but good. This is what all religions teach; abide by it and peace of mind will naturally follow.
The path of devotion is the best,as it is the most natural.Be devoted to God who is inside you…The temples outside are mere reminders of the real inner Temple.
Steadiness in devotion means that though you may be busy with many things,still your mind is always turned towards God.It should be like the needle of a compass;the needle may swing a little to this side or that,but it always has a tendency to point back to north.
Work and live for the Lord and worship Him with your whole soul,and thus attain salvation even in this life.
God is more intelligent then any of us.He knows what is necessary for you and where to keep you.If you resent His dispensation,you really resent His infinite love and grace.Obedience is divine;disobedience is satanic.
