Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

Faith is the ticket to the feast, not the feast.

'Faith and Will' is aimed at the same readership as 'The Artist's Way.' The book is for spiritual seekers in all walks of life.

My hope is that 'Beyond the Heavens' will encourage people to explore faith, open their mind and go beyond what they think they know. That is what my mother encouraged me to do. I hope to encourage others to do the same through this story.

I have a much wider, freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own, personally. You know, let it be theirs - a personal relationship with their soul, or their God, or with their church.

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

At different times in my life I met God from a different point of view.

Over the years, my relationship with God has changed my life for the better - it's grown me up, given me a sense of purpose, and grounded me in my identity.

Darkness is the only path to light. It is not our wonderful gifts that make us closer to God: it's using our garbage to transform ourselves. This is the key that unlocks the door that opens to God.

I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you've bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.

Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.

Faith is not a thing which one 'loses', we merely cease to shape our lives by it.

I seek a deeper truth, but I don't think I have to go to a building designated for worship to find it.

When I was almost 13 I was ripe for religion. I was actually just plain ripe.

Religion can be one of the greatest impediments to finding God.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

Faith is an act of a finite being who is grasped by, and turned to, the infinite.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

There's something cool, even on a philosophical level, about understanding the bigger picture and exploring faith, if you will, in a very real way. The more you delve into it and give into it, you just have to have faith. The more you invest in faith, wherever it takes you, some of those jagged edges become less sharp.

We are all on a journey of faith, and we have to polish that faith.

I have gone through a period of seeking to understand what or how strong or what are the connections I have to God.

I believe that life is a journey towards God, and that no one has the right to insist that you go a certain road.
