Quotations
God
Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed.

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
-Swami Vivekananda
God has no marks, colour, caste, and no ancestors, no form, complexion, outline, costume and is indescribable. He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets. He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. The woods and dales sing the indescribable. O Lord, none can tell Thy names. The wise count your blessings to coin your names.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bani of Guru Gobind Singh"
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.
-Baha’u’llah "Baha’u’llah 111"
The intricacies of spiritual philosophy and theologies are just a thought within Emptiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Adyashanti"
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"
The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
