"The worldly man is like a snake trying to swallow a mole. The snake can neither swallow the mole nor give it up." - Ramakrishna
"The worm that grows in filth feels very happy there. It thrives in filth. It will die if you put it in a pot of rice." - R
"People worship God according to their tastes and temperaments. The mother cooks the same fish differently for her children, that each one may have what suits his stomach." - R
Personally, I prefer deep-fried Advaita Vedanta.
R on spiritual practice and liberation: "The goldsmith is up and doing while melting gold. As long as the gold hasn't melted, he works the bellows with one hand, moves the fan with the other, and blows through a pipe with his mouth. But the moment the gold melts and is poured into the mold, he is relieved of all anxiety."
Comments on any of his stuff are superfluous, except to say that they confirm spiritual experience in words and images that are perfect and complete,and wonderfully surprising, much like the revelation of great art.
