Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Pathology can indeed evoke experiences of Absolute Godliness, but not all God experiences are caused by pathology. They can also occur due to disturbance in the geomagnetic field of our planet, consumption of psychedelics, excruciatingly extreme level of stress during a near- death situation, or ultimately through a natural and healthy procedure of meditation or/and prayer.”

“Accounts from Europe indicate that the danse macabre took another form, inspired by the Black Death, rather like our children's rhyme 'Ring o' Ring o' Roses', which refers to the Great Plague. In 1374, a fanatical sect of dancers appeared in the Rhine, convinced that they could put an end to the epidemic by dancing for days and allowing other people to trample on their bodies. It is not recorded whether they recovered but, incredibly, they began to raise money from bystanders. By the time they reached Cologne they were 500 strong, dancing like demons, half-naked with flowers in their hair. Regarded as a menace by the authorities, these dancers macabre were threatened with excommunication.”

“We concluded the only way to decide what pleased our Father was to measure everything according to His Word, meditating on “whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable” (Philippians 4:8). We came up with a plan to make our choices based on the single question: Would we watch this, read that, go there, do this, or have this conversation if Jesus was sitting right next to us? The answer is simple. Because He is.”

“Standen Sie jemals in einer Buchhandlung, haben sich verstohlen umgesehen und dann das Ende eines Buches von Agatha Christie aufgeschlagen, um zu sehen, wer es getan hat und wie? Haben Sie jemals das Ende eines Horrorromans aufgeschlagen, um festzustellen, ob der Held es aus der Dunkelheit ins Licht schafft? Wenn Sie das jemals getan haben, dann halte ich es für meine Pflicht, Ihnen drei schlichte Worte zu sagen: SCHÄMEN SIE SICH!”
