Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes

The word spiritual, not the word religious, is the key.

The Spirit bears witness. Ecstasy and enlightenment, inspiration and intuition are not necessary. Happy is the man who is worthy of these; but woe unto us if we wait for such experiences; woe unto us if we do not perceive that these things are of secondary importance.

Talking about spirituality is like talking about new love - it always sounds kooky to those who aren't experiencing it.

Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.

When the lights come on inside of you, everyone in the world can see a little better.

Many of my fellow atheists consider all talk of 'spirituality' or 'mysticism' to be synonymous with mental illness, conscious fraud, or self-deception. I have argued elsewhere that this is a problem - because millions of people have had experiences for which 'spiritual' and 'mystical' seem the only terms available.

To be awake is to be fully present, no noise, just you and God. Most of us only have seconds of full consciousness. To live in a state of Samadhi - that's what we're here for.

It is possible to spend one's entire lifetime without ever experiencing the mystical realms or even without being aware of their existence.

My driving force is spirituality.

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

You don't have to go to church to be spiritual, but there are certain times in your life that you know there is a presence of something very spiritual.

My faith gives me the belief that I can go out and perform and improve as a player. It gives me strength and inspiration.

In a way, light unites the spiritual world and the ephemeral, physical world. People frequently talk about spiritual experiences using the vocabulary of light: Saul on the road to Damascus, near-death experiences, samadhi or the light-filled void of Buddhist enlightenment.

I went to church. I found the light.

I have visited Ajmer Sharif Dargah a couple of times before, and each time, it fills my heart with so much love and gratitude.
