"Water and a bubble on it are one and the same. The bubble has its birth in the water, floats on it, and is ultimately resolved into it."

"There is not a fellow under the sun who is my disciple. On the contrary, I am everybody's disciple."

"Many are the names of God, and infinite the forms that lead us to know Him. In whatsoever name or form you desire to call Him, in that very form and name you will see Him."

"Who may be called a paramahamsa? He who, like a swan, can take the milk from a mixture of milk and water, leaving aside the water. He who, like an ant, can take the sugar from a mixture of sugar and sand, leaving aside the sand."

― Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
