Ramakrishna
Indian mystic and religious preacher (1836–1886)
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, born Gadadhar Chattopadhyaya, was an Indian Hindu mystic and religious leader who lived in the 19th century Bengal. He adhered to various religious practices from Bhakti yoga, Tantra, Advaita Vedanta, as well as from Islam and Christianity, before proclaiming that the world's various religions are "so many paths to reach one and the same goal". Ramakrishna's followers came to regard him as an avatara, or divine incarnation, as did some of the prominent Hindu scholars of his day.

Ramakrishna Quotes
Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.
If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
God is in all men, but all men are not in God that is why we suffer.
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
More are the names of God and infinite are the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through them you will realise Him.
