Quotations
God
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.’
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
People do not know what the name of God can do. Those who repeat it constantly alone know its power. It can purify your mind completely…
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Ramdas"
I have found God, but he is insufficient.
-Henry Miller
"Tropic of Cancer"
All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.
-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
"Invisible Monsters"
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; his presence should be felt everywhere, but he should never be seen.
-Gustave Flaubert
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
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"
You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
-Anne Lamott
