Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.

So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
-Henry David Thoreau
By self-study, by observing, by being hollow and empty, you become a channel - you become a part of the Divine. You are able to feel the presence of Divinity. All the different angels and devas, all these different forms of our consciousness, start blossoming.
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
