Sri Ramakrishna was a living embodiment of Godliness. His sayings are not those of a mere learned man, but are pages from the book of life. Mahendranath Gupta has recorded his sublime utterances with stenographic precision. Therefore they are a beacon light to all who tread the spiritual path, to whichever race or religion they may belong.
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth -- Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
-Swami Vivekananda
