*Teachings of Srimat Swami Ranganathanandaji Mj.*
One normal for Sri Ramakrishna’s identity is the feeling of satisfaction in him. Euphoria is normal for genuine religion. Sri Ramakrishna demonstrated that the delight of religion is more noteworthy and more exceptional than the delights of common life. He used to sing: Ei samsara choice major kuthi, ‘This world is a mansion of mirth.’ Since God is present everywhere, the world is indeed a mansion of mirth.
To do honor to an infinite God in an infinite way is to practice active toleration and fellowship.
Are you growing spiritually? Can you love others? Can you feel oneness with others? Have you peace within yourself? and do you radiate it around you? That is called otherworldly development, which is animated by contemplation internally, and by work done in a soul of administration apparently.”
“Proficiency and vitality originate from feeling, not from scholarly information, which can just direct that enthusiastic vitality. Be that as it may, the genuine motivation originates from feeling. It makes you work taking care of business.”
“In this way, buckle down; play out all obligations; create yourself; at that point come and surrender to the most noteworthy. Complete an entire day’s straightforward work, at that point sit and think; at that point leave yourself to God. Something else, that contemplation has no significance or esteem. Reflection toward the finish of a languid day has no significance; however, the equivalent toward the finish of a functioning day, loaded up with great deeds, has meaning, and is fulfilling.”

“How might we discover happiness in function? By working for oneself? No; it is unimaginable to expect to locate that ceaseless bliss in work through narrowly minded inspirations. Frustration and ennui are the ends of all selfish motivations. Frustrations and nervous breakdowns are the ends of a self-centered life. The first advice of modern psychiatry to such people is to get out of this prison of self-centeredness and to find a genuine interest in other people. Everyone has to learn the lesson someday that, the best way to be happy is to strive to make others happy. So wherever you find frustration, you will always discover that the person concerned had been too self-centered, and the only hope for him is through learning to take interest in other people, to find joy in the joy of other people. This is the royal path that makes for health, for strength, for efficiency. This great truth—universal and human—we should apply to the world and to our life in it.
Whatever you do, do not destroy another’s self-regard, for by that we pave the way for his ruin. This maxim is a sure and wise guide in all social relationships.
Being is not identical with consciousness; consciousness is only one part of Being; conscious being is, therefore, only surface being, limited and circumscribed. The greatness and forcefulness of a personality derive from its capacity to appropriate more and more of its Being to consciousness, thus the expansion of consciousness is also the enrichment of personality, and the highest development of personality is when consciousness becomes coextensive and identical with Being.
When our people (i.e. Indians) understand religion correctly, that it is a science and, as a science, it is based on both reason and faith, just like any physical science, we shall see the flowering, more and more, in our country, of true religion as dynamic spirituality, and the withering away, more and more, of the current noisy, showy static piety, or piety-fringed worldliness, mistaken as religion by many people.
