Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.
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 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.
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
Only by doing good can one benefit. Those who detach themselves from ‘bad’ and yearn for ‘good’, dedicate their lives to God…and to service of scholars shall be blessed.
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.
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
