Sri Ramakrishna

1)Pray to him with all heart, asking him to tell you how you can live in the world without being attached to it. Keep praying like this for some time, and then it will occur to you what to do. Do whatever strikes you as the right thing to do. If you follow this, you will never go astray.

page.262, Letters for Spiritual Seekers, Letters of Swami Shivananda

2)Once in a while one should go out and live the life of an itinerant monk, depending solely on the Lord. That is how genuine resignation is acquired. Without this resignation to God, nothing can be accomplished. All the spiritual practices and disciplines have one aim, to develop resignation. He who seeks refuge at the feet of the Lord with the undivided mind is fully taken care of and protected by Him…Be sincerely resigned to see the Lord. He will give you all the knowledge. In time everything will be revealed through His grace.

(page.16-7, For Seekers Of God, Swami Shivananda’s instruction to a monk on 14 September 1923)
