Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

An almost forgotten truth, even among some practising Christians, is that it's never the physical world, but only the spirit of the world that is evil. Therefore the soul must detach itself from the spirit of the world.

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.

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.

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.

A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.

Split a piece of wood and I am there.

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

The most superior amongst the colors in the universe is the colour of Devotion.

To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?

There is a polish for everything that takes away rust, and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of God.

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.

Those who earn an honest living are the beloved of God.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge.

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
