You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

Devotion does not mean only chanting praise and singing glory of God, nor fasting and offerings made to God. Devotion is a specific attitude towards life and existence.

Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.

Faith is a state of openness or trust.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven.

Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.

You will not enter paradise until you have faith. And you will not complete your faith until you love one another.

Fearlessness is a result of faith in oneself and faith in God.

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death ... I think. peace and tranquillity will return again.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

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.

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

God's house must be clean, otherwise, God will just run away.

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.

I defy anyone to imagine an environment more exquisitely designed to provide us with opportunities for spiritual growth than this life of ours.

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

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.
