Quotations
God
Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature, and joyfully drink the bliss of God within, for what use is there in other, empty things?
-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankara"
God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
-André Gide
No God in this world can be so narrow-minded that he needs to be appeased by
sycophancy or worship, and if he does gets pleased and favours you, then he
cannot be God... He can only be the devil.
-Deep Trivedi
God brings men into deep waters, not to drown them, but to cleanse them.
-James H. Aughey
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"
Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
God has no marks, colour, caste, and no ancestors, no form, complexion, outline, costume and is indescribable. He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets. He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. The woods and dales sing the indescribable. O Lord, none can tell Thy names. The wise count your blessings to coin your names.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bani of Guru Gobind Singh"
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
-Khalil Gibran
The very impossibility in which I find myself to prove that God is not, discovers to me his existence.
-Voltaire
