Quote by Timothy J. Keller

“When the Captain finds the sleeping prophet he says, "Arise, call...!" ( Hebrew qum lek, verse 6), the same words God used when calling Jonah to arise, go, and call Nineveh to repentance. But as Jonah rubs his eyes there is a Gentile mariner with God's very words in his mouth. What is this? God sent his prophet to point the pagans toward himself. Yet now it is the pagans pointing the prophet toward God.”

“Realizations in dreams are the purest 31st May, 1958. These divine dreams are discussed in many ways in the Bible, Quran, Sri Chaitanya’s era, and Sri Ramkrishna’s sayings, as the realizations in dreams are the purest. When a man sleeps, the actions of his outer mind gradually dissolve. In meditation, a man’s subconscious mind exists and for meditation, a separate time is required. But no question arises in the case of dreams as sleeping at night is a natural course and at that time the man will see dreams. How wonderful.”
