I’d hate to be an atheist, die, and meet God only to have him say, I’m sorry, but I don’t believe in you.

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.
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God
doesn't exist at all and take up all their responsibilities by themselves, again the
matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.

Burnt offerings, sacred feasts, intense meditations, puja and taking millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage: the merits of all these can be obtained by enshrining Lord within your heart for a fraction of a second.
One who serves and seeks no recompense finds union with the Lord. Such a servant alone takes the Master’s guidance, says Nanak, As on him is divine grace.
For a week, you just closely observe the vibrations arising in your mind, events
unfolding around you and the functioning of nature. You will realize that other
than your false hopes and unfounded fears, no one needs "God".
-Deep Trivedi
There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.
-Blaise Pascal
I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, and there might be not. Either way, we're on our own.

"City of Bones"
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
