The Self-realised soul can impart knowledge unto you and when you have thus learned the truth, you will know that all living beings are but a part of Me-and that they are in Me, and are Mine.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita
To uphold righteousness, so supreme an act did he perform; he gave his head, but did not utter a word of sorrow. For the sake of righteousness, he did this great heroic deed; he laid down his life but not the principles… Guru Tegh Bahadur broke his earthly vase on the head of the Emperor of Delhi – and went to the abode of God.
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
The very impossibility in which I find myself to prove that God is not, discovers to me his existence.
-Voltaire
From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust. God watches them play and forgets the priest.
The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
-Swami Vivekananda
