"Rantai emas sama seperti rantai besi. Shri Ramakrishna biasa mengatakan bahwa, untuk mengambil satu duri yang telah menempel di kaki, duri lain diminta, dan ketika duri itu dikeluarkan, keduanya dibuang. Jadi kecenderungan buruk harus dilawan oleh yang baik, tetapi setelah itu, kecenderungan yang baik juga harus ditaklukkan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that, to pick out one thorn which has stuck into the foot, another thorn is requisitioned, and when the thorn is taken out, both are thrown away. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered.
