Call upon the Master and take refuge in him. Our Master is living and is bound to respond if you pray to him earnestly. For the good of the many, God – the Universal Spirit – incarnated Himself in this age as Sri Ramakrishna. You have nothing to worry about, as you have come under the shelter of Sri Ramakrishna, the Incarnation of the age.
(p.64, For Seekers of God, Swami Shivanandaji’s words on 8 April, 1929 in Belur Math.)
Go on doing your to the best of your ability and knowledge, and never mind the consequences. Leave them all at the feet of the Lord. He is the embodiment of goodness and will do nothing but good. If one sets his mind on God, need he fear going astray? He is the polestar of our life. He is the goal, he is the means, and he is the consequence.
