But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is. If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death - or shall I say, death implies life - you can conceive yourself.

You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.

The spiritual path is one of falling on your face, getting up, brushing yourself off, turning and looking sheepishly at God and then taking the next step.

If we keep holding on to God, there is nothing to fear.

Do not contemplate on death; it is just an incident in life; contemplate on God, who is the master of all life.

You are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream; you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.

The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of a man is but the outcome of harmony.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

No doubt, God alone has become all these objects, animate and inanimate, but in the relative world all beings act and suffer according to their past Karma and innate tendencies.

Those who want the fewest things are nearest to the gods.

It is He who manifests as both matter and consciousness. There is no place where God is not. In every atom, in every living being He alone is present.

He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.

When you can make others laugh with jokes that belittle no one and your words always unite, Hafiz will vote for you to be God.

What we call our joy, God calls our perfection. Each human being has come into the world with the message of perfection. Each human being will one day realize the highest Truth. Each human being is destined to be fulfilled. It is the birthright of our soul.

Does one get faith by mere studying of books? Too much reading creates confusion. The Master used to say that one should learn from the scriptures that God alone is real and the world illusory.

Every thought, word, deed performed in an attempt to find happiness apart from our service to God, further binds us, covers us and entangles us in ignorance.

O ye that dwell on earth! The religion of God is for love and unity; make it not the cause of enmity or dissension.

What do you possess if you possess not God?

Every situation is an appropriate opportunity to celebrate the glory and mercy of God.

One must not think that a person who is suffering is not praying. He is offering up his sufferings to God, and many a time he is praying much more truly than one who goes away by himself and meditates his head off, and, if he has squeezed out a few tears, thinks that is prayer.

Don't be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don't forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.

Settle yourself in solitude, and you will come upon God in yourself.

Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
