BE YOURSELF: MY TEARS

MY TEARS

The tears I cry have dried on up
I'm done crying all the time
no one is there anymore to stand by my side
or to hold me close and calm me down

There is no one to soothe me anymore
I guess I'm just on my own again
Is there anyone out there who cares?
apparently not
cause I'm still sitting here

And even though I seem like I’m okay
my heart does not agree with me
it knows I'm hurt and confused
and even though I want to cry about it...
what's the point?
My tears have dried up

Quotes by Sri Ramakrishna

God is Love
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God… Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.

God is True Knowledge
If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you. When the divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low… Good and evil cannot bind him who has realized the oneness of Nature and his own self with Brahman.

God is in Your Heart
Because of the screen of Maya (illusion) that shuts off God from human view, one cannot see Him playing in one's heart.
After installing the Deity on the lotus of your heart, you must keep the lamp of remembering God ever burning. While engaged in the affairs of the world, you should constantly turn your gaze inwards and see whether the lamp is burning or not.

God is in All People
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.

God is Our Father
As a nurse in a wealthy family brings up her master's child, loving it as if it were her own, yet knowing well that she has no claim upon it, so you also think that you are but trustee and guardians of your children whose real father is the Lord himself.

God is Infinite
Many are the names of God and infinite the forms through which He may be approached.

God is Truth
Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God Who is the soul of truth. One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.

God is above all Arguments
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.

God is Work
Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.

God is the End
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.
