Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
-Jean Paul Sartre
Don’t confuse the teacher with the lesson, the ritual with the ecstasy, the transmitter of the symbol with the symbol itself.

There is the solitude of suffering, when you go through darkness that is lonely, intense, and terrible. Words become powerless to express your pain; what others hear from your words is so distant and different from what you are actually suffering.
- John O'donohue
When we experience the creative impulse in the universe vibrating and pulsating in our bodies and minds, we experience a powerful sense of purposefulness. When you awaken to evolution, you awaken to a profound sense of directionality that is inherent in the life force, inherent in existence itself.
Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.
-Robert H. Schuller
If you need to find ways to pass your "time", then understand, your life is heading
in the wrong direction. Only if you feel pressed for time to finish your tasks, know
for sure that your steps are moving in the right direction.
-Deep Trivedi
The concept of "God" has come into existence because of fear. ‘Fear’ is the
offspring of insecurity and desire... The interesting part is, you don't need either
of these after death.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
