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"
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.
It is true that in each particle of the existence, there is a reflection of God. But
then it is difficult to understand, why temples exist separately?
-Deep Trivedi
From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust. God watches them play and forgets the priest.
Men take care not to make women weep, for God counts their tears.
-Thomas S. Monson
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
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
He is the living One; there is no god but He: call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion.
When a man in the process of dreaming becomes conscious that he is dreaming, he is no longer identified with the phenomena; he is not affected exultantly or dolefully. God consciously dreams His cosmic play and is unaffected by its dualities.
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
-Swami Vivekananda
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.
