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"
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
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"
You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

Christ was crucified once, but his teachings suffer crucifixion every day at the hands of men of limited vision. Christ’s teachings cannot be understood just by reading the Bible…but by living and trying out in everyday life the principles taught in the book.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
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.

God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.
-C. S. Lewis
Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
