Sri Sarada Devi

Pure loving devotion alone can win everything.

devotion is all, surrender yourself, just surrender yourself,

then only will she the divine mother be gracious and clear the way for you

Everything, including realization, will happen in time.

For how many cycles did the moonies and rishis of old practice austerities to realize truth?

And you believe you will attain it in a flash?

If not in this life, you will attain to it in the next.

If not in the next, it will be after that.

There is no other virtue higher than forbearance.

Have intense devotion to God.

How can one achieve anything without effort?

You must devote some time for prayer, even in the midst of the busiest hours of the day.

My child, this mind is just like a wild elephant.

One should discriminate between the changeless reality and the changing unreal phenomena all the time.

one should work diligently for realization.

But God or ultimate truth is not like fish or vegetables that you can buy for a price.

One realizes it in proportion to the intensity of one's feeling and devotion for it.
