For all who are led by the spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship.
-Bible "Romans 8.14-17"

The young do not need God, and the old cannot find Him.

"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
-André Gide
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
God provideth every one with his daily food; why, O man, art thou immersed planning; He putteth their food even before the insects which He created in rocks and stones.
Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.
-Rabindranath Tagore
I consider him to be a true believer of God, who no matter what happens...has
the capacity to cheerfully accept it there and then, as the will of God.
-Deep Trivedi
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
