God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science tells theology about the structure and history of the universe and its evolutionary nature. Religious insight can set the laws of nature in a more profound context of understanding, so that their deep order, rational beauty and anthropic fine-tuning become intelligible.
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
Meat gives strength to the body, many people say... But the elephant - one of the biggest and strongest animals in the world - is a pure vegetarian.
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
In the universe, everything has its own individual nature. No element of existence
has any confusion with regards to their nature except the intelligent human being,
who is absolutely clueless about his own nature.
-Deep Trivedi
If you could buy time, I would sell it. Yesterday would be expensive, and tomorrow would be cheap.
-Jarod Kintz
The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being.
