"The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960"
'Paramatma' - the Supreme Being has nothing to do with your good or bad
karma. It is the ego which carries out the good or bad karma and bears the
consequences for the same too. The "Supreme Being in the form of witness" just
has to watch this drama unfold.
-Deep Trivedi
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
Burnt offerings, sacred feasts, intense meditations, puja and taking millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage: the merits of all these can be obtained by enshrining Lord within your heart for a fraction of a second.

I have found God, but he is insufficient.
-Henry Miller
"Tropic of Cancer"
God created man incorruptible, and made him in the image of his own nature, but through the devil’s envy, death came into the world.
-Bible "Bible"
Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
