Doctrines and Creeds
Do Not care
for doctrines, do not care for dogmas, or sects,
churches or temples; they count for little compared with
the essence of existence in each man, which is
spirituality, and the more this is developed in a man,
the more powerful is he for good. Earn that first,
acquire that, and criticise no one, for all doctrines
and creeds have some good in them. Show by your
lives that religion does not mean words, or names, or
sects, but that it means spiritual realization.
Only those
can understand who have felt. Only those who have
attained to spirituality can communicate it to others,
can be great teachers of mankind. They alone are
the powers of light.
Sri
Ramakrishna
