Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Reflections

Be not like the frog in the well. The frog in the well knows nothing bigger and grander than its well. So are all bigots. They do not see anything better than their own creed.

In a potter's shop, there are vessels of different shapes and forms - pots, jars, dishes, plates etc., but all are made of the same clay. So God is one, but He is worshipped in different ages and climes under different names and aspects.

One can ascend to the top of a house by means of a ladder or a bamboo or a staircase or a rope; so too, diverse are the ways of approaching God and each religion in the world shows one of the ways.
