Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Falling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.

Your soul is between you and God.

Ramanama is for the pure at heart and for those who want to attain purity and remain pure.

Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.

The thing that brings people to wail at a wall, or face Mecca, or to go to church, is a search for that feeling of purity.

One of the values of centering prayer is that you are not thinking about God during the time of centering prayer so you are giving God a chance to manifest. In centering prayer there are moments of peace that give the psyche a chance to realize that God may not be so bad after all. God has a chance to be himself for a change.

Most importantly, the meaning of spirituality lays the seeds for our destiny and the path we must follow.

The truth is that you can only come to know God when you give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now, because God is always here now.

I open my mind and allow the Holy Spirit to come in.

My prayer life and my connection with God are on the highest level.

I have read a lot of spiritual works and believe that our body is just a place for the soul to dwell.

I believe that meditation is the highest spiritual practice, the pathway to God.

To know God and to live is the same thing. God is Life.

Purity is the fruit of prayer.

Prayer is more than thoughts and feelings expressed in words. It is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being to God our Abba Father. It is Divine Union.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys Him.

When the heart is open, it's easier for the mind to be turned toward God.

The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.

True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that - it is spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. It's a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It's a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification.

The soul... may have many symbols with which it reaches toward God.

I can't really connect with things unless they are spiritual in nature, so I have to make acting spiritual for myself, and each role a spiritual journey for me.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind.

The main object of religion is not to get a man into heaven, but to get heaven into him.

Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God.
