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

Quotations
God
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"
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
-Khalil Gibran
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.
-Vedas "Rig Veda"
The Guru believes in one God. They believe that all the gurus are the same as Nanak
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Saheb"
Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
-Jules Renard
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
-Swami Vivekananda
The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
-Socrates
When you know you own God you will not be in a hurry to get something out of God.
