Ramakrishna - His Life and Sayings
F. Max Müller
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is a famous nineteenth-century Bengali
mystic. Ramakrishna was a teacher of popular appeal, speaking in rustic
Bengali with stories and parables. Ramakrishna's main teachings included
God realization as the supreme goal of life, renunciation of
Kama-Kanchana, Harmony of Religions and Jiva is Shiva. Key concepts in
Ramakrishna’s teachings included the oneness of existence and the unity
and truth of all religions. "I have practised all religions—Hinduism,
Islam, Christianity—and I have also followed the paths of the different
Hindu sects. I have found that it is the same God toward whom all are
directing their steps, though along different paths. You must try all
beliefs and traverse all the different ways once. Wherever I look, I see
men quarrelling in the name of religion—Hindus, Mohammedans, Brahmos,
Vaishnavas, and the rest. But they never reflect that He who is called
Krishna is also called Siva, and bears the name of the Primal Energy,
Jesus, and Allah as well—the same Rama with a thousand names..." -
