“If God is not realized then everything becomes false.”

—  Ramakrishna

Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (1942), p. 158
Context: I have heard that man can acquire superhuman powers through it and perform miracles. I saw a man who had brought a ghost under control. The ghost used to procure various things for his master. What shall I do with superhuman powers? Can one realize God through them? If God is not realized then everything becomes false.
