Quote
Awake, Mother! Awake!
How long Thou hast been asleep
In the lotus of the Muladhara!
Fulfill Thy secret function, Mother:
Rise to the thousand-petalled lotus within the head,
Where mighty Shiva has His dwelling;
Swiftly pierce the six lotuses
And take away my grief,
O Essence of Consciousness!
Mahendranath Gupta, The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

One cannot attain divine knowledge till one gets rid of pride. Water does not stay on the top of a mound, but into low land, it flows in torrents from all sides.

Who is an example of a selfless person?
Narendra (Swami Vivekananda) had just lost his father and was in lot of debt. Once Ramakrishna Paramahansa was talking with Narendra and other few disciples. During the conversation Ramakrishna said to a devotee who was rich "Narendra has lost his father, his family is in trouble, it would be great if his friends help him in this time of need."
After that rich fellow left the place, Naren who was angry said to his Guru Ramakrishna "Why did you have to tell him all that?", he was angry for his pride and his family's esteem were hurt.
Seeing Naren hurt, Ramakrishna with tears in his eyes said "Naren, don't you know I'm ready to do anything for you? I will go from house to house begging for you."
Naren knew his master truly meant it, touched by the love of the saint he wept and felt ashamed of his behavior.

To explain God after merely reading the scriptures is like explaining to a person the city of Banaras after seeing it only in a map.

Ramakrishna said: "Those who seek nirvana are selfish and small-minded. They are full of fear. They are like those parcheesi players who are always eager to reach home. An amateur player, once he sends his piece home, doesn't like to bring it out again. Such players are unskilled. But an adept player is never afraid of coming out again, if by doing so he gets the opportunity to capture an opponent. Then he rolls the right number and returns home once more. It seems that whenever he rolls the dice, the right number comes up for him. So do not fear. Play without any fear."
I asked, "Does it actually happen?" The Master replied: "Of course it happens. By Mother's grace everything takes place. Mother likes people to play. Take the game of hide-and-seek. [There is a granny, there is a thief who is blindfolded, and there are children trying to escape being caught by the thief.] The granny likes to have the children run about and make the game go on. She may extend her hand to help a child so he will not be caught by the thief, if she thinks it necessary. Similarly, the Divine Mother is not really pleased with those who seek nirvana, for they want to retire from the game. She wants the game to continue. That is why devotees do not seek nirvana. They say, 'O mind, it is not good to become sugar. I want to eat sugar.'
[…] "The practice of excessive physical mortification and of harming the body in any way stems from tamas [delusion]."
[…] One of the gentlemen said: "Sir, this body is the root of all evils. If it can be destroyed, all troubles will cease."
"The raw earthen pots when broken are made into pots again," the Master said, "but the burnt ones, once broken, can never be remade. So if you destroy the body before the attainment of Self-realization, you will have to be reborn and suffer similar consequences."
"But, sir," the gentleman objected, "why does one take so much care of his body?"
The Master answered: "Those who do the work of moulding, preserve the mould with care till the image is made. When the image is ready, it does not matter whether the mould is kept or rejected. So with this body. One has to realize the Supreme Self. One has to attain Self-knowledge. After that the body may remain or go. Till then the body has to be taken care of." The gentleman was silenced.
--Ramakrishna As We Saw Him

Sri Ramakrishna taught that all living beings were a form of God himself. Therefore, service to God can be represented through service to mankind.

Do you seek God?
Then seek Him in man.
His divinity is manifest
more in man than in any other object.
Look around for a man whose heart overflows with the love of God,
a man who lives, moves and
has his being in God
a man intoxicated with His love.
In such a man God manifests Himself.
wise sayings of Sri Ramakrishna
