To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12.15-19"
To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
If you say that God is good, great blessed, wise or any such thing, the starting point is this: God is.
-Bernard Of Clairvaux
You have come from God, you are a spark of His Glory, you are a wave of that Ocean of Bliss; you will get peace only when you again merge in Him.
Without God, life is like a school without a teacher. It is a wire with no current passing through it; it is a body with no soul.
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
-Swami Vivekananda
God laughs when two brothers divide their land with a string, saying to each other, ‘This side is mine and that side is yours.’ He laughs and says to Himself, ‘The whole universe belongs to me, but they say they own this portion or that portion.’
I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
-Jules Renard
Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.
-Robert "Bob" Pierce
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
-Salman Rushdie
"The Satanic Verses"
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.
