"God has made different religions to suit different aspirants, times, and countries. All doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God himself. Indeed, one can reach God if one follows any of the paths with whole-hearted devotion...One may eat a cake with icing either straight or sidewise. It will taste sweet either way."
Ramakrishna was a 19th-century Indian Hindu mystic and spiritual teacher whose teachings influenced modern Vedanta movements. He is especially associated with Dakshineswar and with disciples including Swami Vivekananda.
