God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

How tired God must be of guilt and loneliness, for that is all we ever bring to Him.

"The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960"
The intricacies of spiritual philosophy and theologies are just a thought within Emptiness.
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
If you say that God is good, great blessed, wise or any such thing, the starting point is this: God is.
-Bernard Of Clairvaux
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.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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 Himself told me that the most basic and central truth of the universe is that God is the Father and we are His children. We are all created as children of God.
God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.
-Ayn Rand
