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.
-Scriptures "Adi Granth"
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.
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.
It is difficult to discuss the beginning of the Universe without mentioning the concept of God… It is quite possible that God acts in ways that cannot be described by scientific laws. But in that case one would just have to go by personal belief.
I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.
-Abraham Lincoln
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
-Swami Vivekananda
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"The Poisonwood Bible"
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
Trust God completely and he will solve all difficulties. Faithfully leave everything to Him and He will see to everything.
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
