Set your faces towards unity, and let the radiance of its light shine upon you. Gather ye together, and for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever is the source of contention among you. Then will the effulgence of the world’s great Luminary envelop the whole earth, and its inhabitants become citizens of one city, and the occupants of one and the same throne.
Devotion to God’s Name is my lamp; In this lamp is poured the oil of suffering. The light of realisation burns away this oil…Vast loads of firewood are reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire.
The devotee engages to the best of his ability into the play of life, fulfilling his role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife, parent, neighbor, and community servant. But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
He who trusts in God and makes an honest living to share with others and injures no one, nor harbours ill will against another need perform no other rituals.
No one can be a slave of two masters. You cannot serve both God and money.
-Jesus Christ
Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.
-Criss Jami
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
I have found God, but he is insufficient.
-Henry Miller
"Tropic of Cancer"
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
