Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
God
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.
-Scriptures "Zohar, Leviticus 9b"
The gods and demons were rivals of each other. The demons, swollen with pride, said, “In what, pray, should we place the oblation?” And they proceeded to place it in their own mouths.
-Scriptures "Satapata Brahmana"
'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
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
-Jesus Christ
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?"
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
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"
Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, “Christ is risen,” but “I shall rise.”
-Phillips Brooks "Phillips Brooks"
The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world, manifest in each of us, she can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity.
