“If you want to go east, don't go west.” — Ramakrishna

Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.

Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.

A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.

Unalloyed love of God is the essential thing. All else is unreal.
