Shri Ramakrishna used to deprecate lukewarmness in spiritual attainments as, for instance, saying that spiritual evolution would come gradually, and that there was no hurry for it.
When one is thirsty, can one sit idle? Does he not run about for water? Because your thirst for spirituality has not come, therefore you are sitting idly.
The desire for knowledge has not grown strong, therefore you are satisfied with the little pleasures of family life.
Swami Vivekananda
