Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.

Quotations
God
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.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Scriptures "The Book of Right Feeling"
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
The Guru believes in one God. They believe that all the gurus are the same as Nanak
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Saheb"
He is the living One; there is no god but He: call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion.
-Quran "Quran 40.65"
To uphold righteousness, so supreme an act did he perform; he gave his head, but did not utter a word of sorrow. For the sake of righteousness, he did this great heroic deed; he laid down his life but not the principles… Guru Tegh Bahadur broke his earthly vase on the head of the Emperor of Delhi – and went to the abode of God.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Gobind Singh"
There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist.
-John Fowles
"The French Lieutenant's Woman"
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it and use it.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
