selfless work

Sri RamaKrishna said

"Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart.
Then, through His grace, one realizes Him in course of time.
God can be seen. One can talk to Him as I am talking to you. "

To be a bee

Sri RamaKrishna said
"Ordinary people practice spiritual discipline and cultivate devotion to God;but they also become attached to 'woman and gold'. They are like flies, which sit on a flower or a sweetmeat and light on filth as well.
But the ever-perfect are like bees, which only light on flowers and sip the honey.The ever perfect drink only the Nectar of Divine Bliss. They are never inclined
to worldly pleasures."

"In the world take always the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no return. Give love, give help, give service, and give any little thing you can, but keep out barter. Make no conditions, and none will be imposed. Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us." Unfortunately in our short sightedness, we forget this. 'Unselfishness is more paying, only people have not the patience to practise it,' says Swami Vivekananda.

Dakshineswar Kali Temple is situated alongside the Vivekananda Bridge north of Calcutta, about 20 km. from BBD Bagh. It is famous for its association - with Ramkrishna who achieved spiritual vision here. This temple was built by Rani Rashmoni in 1847. The 12- spired temple with its enormous courtyard is surrounded by 12 other temples dedicated to Lord Shiva.

It is a world famous place of pilgrimage and it was here that the Sri Rama Krishna Paramahamsa achieved his spiritual vision and preached the unity of all religions.Guru maharaji (Sri Ramakrishna) served as temple's head priest. From the first days of his service in the shrine of the goddess Kali, he was filled with love for the Goddess known in Hinduism as maha-bhava. Worshiping in front of the statue of Kali, Sri Ramakrishna would be overcome with such ecstatic love for the deity that he would fall to the ground and immersed in spiritual trance, lose all consciousness of the external world.Sri Ramakrishna fully realized the infinite and all-inclusive nature of the divine.

Sri Ramakrishna, the Great Master

"Whenever virtue subsides and vice prevails, I come down to help mankind," declares Krishna, in the Bhagavad-Gita

Many devotees were drawn by his sweet, unfailing words. Many householders lay bare their aching hearts and the soothing words of the Sri Ramakrishna acted as a balm. He constantly urged them to condemn lust and money and to divert one’s attention completely to God realization as the only aim of human life. Many pure young men devoted themselves in his service and soon were realized what is the spirituality, one of them is Swami Vivekananda.

Sri Ramakrishna words of wisdom were recorded by a devotee and later published as the 'Kathamrita' or 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna'. We can also say the “Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna “as Spiritual Dictionary which is useful for the people those who are willing to attain the spirituality.
