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.
Do your duty for God’s sake; know that all belongs to Gos, and you will reach freedom and wisdom in time.This is karma yoga.
Temptations sometimes disguise themselves and assume the forms of duties; we must be vigilant enough not to be deluded by these false appearances. Constant meditation on[our]real nature…makes us unmindful of the demands of our senses till at last they demand no more…Hence we should always be meditative.
Everywhere is the same Self. God is living in the hearts of all living beings,so by giving pain to any living creature…you really give pain to yourself…
Light the fire of wisdom in your mind and heart, and nothing weak or impure will dare to approach you. Whenthat fire is kindled all imperfections and impurities are burned to ashes.
What is purity?It means only – ness or singleness.When a man’s mind is occupied by the one idea of God, when he can only talk about Him and nothing else,he is said to be absolutely pure.
