You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.
The abdomen is the reason why man does not easily take himself for a god.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
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.
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
Though wrong gratifies in the moment, good yields its gifts over a lifetime.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.
Who is the most favoured of God? He from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.
If you're really spiritual, then you should be totally independent of the good and the bad opinions of the world... you should have faith in yourself.
To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions.
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
You may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.
Prayer is a turning to God.
We must lay before him what is in us, not what ought to be in us.
Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.
