To uphold righteousness, so supreme an act did he perform; he gave his head, but did not utter a word of sorrow. For the sake of righteousness, he did this great heroic deed; he laid down his life but not the principles… Guru Tegh Bahadur broke his earthly vase on the head of the Emperor of Delhi – and went to the abode of God.
God often visits us, but most of the time we are not at home.

"Meditations of a Parish Priest”"
People see God every day, they just don't recognize him.
-Pearl Bailey
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.

God is as present as the air.
-Michael Holding
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
-Socrates
A virtuous person fears God without being afraid of him.
-Immanuel Kant
