God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
God
God is taking a nap within my soul. I ponder whether to wake Him or not.
-Harley King
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"
God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"Stray Birds"
If God is to be defined in one sentence, then 'God' is the elementary force
prevailing with all its three dimensions...that is, law, energy and desire for
evolution, in each and every atom of this existence.
-Deep Trivedi
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?"
I have found God, but he is insufficient.
-Henry Miller
"Tropic of Cancer"
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
-Peter Farb "Peter Farb and George Armelagos"
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.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
