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"
The One who, himself without colour, by the manifold application of his power distributes many colours in his hidden purpose, and into whom, it’s end and it’s beginning, the whole world dissolves - He is God!
- Upanishads "Svestasvatara Upanishad 4.1"
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"
God brings men into deep waters, not to drown them, but to cleanse them.
-James H. Aughey
Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if is received with thanksgiving: for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
-Bible "1 Timothy 4.3-5"

"Meditations of a Parish Priest”"
Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.
-Diana Robinson
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
