-Kirpal Singh "Sant Kirpal Singh"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.
