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.
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
-Khalil Gibran
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work and look around you.
-Leo Tolstoy
God laughs when two brothers divide their land with a string, saying to each other, ‘This side is mine and that side is yours.’ He laughs and says to Himself, ‘The whole universe belongs to me, but they say they own this portion or that portion.’
If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
When you know you own God you will not be in a hurry to get something out of God.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
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.
Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name.
The intricacies of spiritual philosophy and theologies are just a thought within Emptiness.
It is better to have God over your shoulder, than carry the world alone on your back.
-Anthony Liccione
