At the Feet of Sri Ramakrishna
Finding wisdom for our everyday lives in the words of one of India's greatest saints
(more about Sri Ramakrishna)

Man is Like a Pillowcase

Man is like a pillowcase. The color of one may be red, another blue, another black, but all contain the same cotton.

So it is with man--one is beautiful, one is not; another is holy, a fourth wicked; but the Divine dwells in them all.


Notes:

In this saying, Sri Ramakrishna emphasizes the divinity in all people, without distinction. As we'll see later, this is to be tempered with some discrimination.
