Can worldly pleasures and sex pleasures be compared to the bliss of God?
Bhagaban-er Aanander Kachhe Bishoyananda Aar Ramonananda!
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna – 757
When you see a monk, you should show him respect. You should not slight him with disrespectful retorts.
The Gospel of The Holy Mother - P 337
No force can die, no matter can be annihilated. What becomes of it? It goes on changing, backwards and forwards, until it returns to the source from which it came. There is no motion in a straight line. Everything moves in a circle; a straight line, infinitely produced, becomes a circle. If that is the case, there cannot be eternal degeneration for any soul. It cannot be.
Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda – Vol II P 231
"Sir, what is hathayoga like?"
Sri Ramakrishna: "A man practicing hathayoga dwells a great deal on his body. He washes his intestines by means of a bamboo tube through his anus. He draws ghee and milk through his sexual organ. He learns how to manipulate his tongue by performing exercises. He sits in a fixed posture and bow and then levitates. All these are actions of prana. ......."The Vedantists do not accept hathayoga. There is also rajayoga. Rajayoga describes how to achieve union with God through the mind by means of discrimination and bhakti. This yoga is good. Hathayoga is not good. The life of a man in the Kaliyuga is dependent on food."
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna – 330-331May we follow the spiritual path shown by Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda to reach God, the goal of our lives, and by His power help others also in their struggle to reach Him.
