Divinity Quotes

“To Live A Single Day (The Sonnet) To live even for a single day, In the full light of oneness. To walk even for a single day, In the full might of kindness. To talk even for a single day, In the full sight of humility. To breathe even for a single day, In the full height of amity. To smile even for a single day, Without a trace of hidden deceit. To love even for a single day, As an undeterred force of uplift. Isn't that the highest sanity? Isn't that the highest humanity?”

“Each of us is a kaaranakartha...a conduit, a catalyst, an instrument…and so we only have one role...to be better instruments for divinity to work through us! And we can do that by working humbly, meaningfully, on whatever gives us unadulterated joy and by sharing all that we receive, thereby helping people around us to grow.”

“This life you are leading right now is not a dress rehearsal. You are right here right now. You are on stage and everyone is watching. You are not practicing behind the curtain. The curtain is up. Everyone can see what you are doing. Well, what are you doing? How are you using your life? Life is not an exercise in shrinking. It’s about growing … growing to stupendous proportions that amaze the world. You can’t grow your body, but your mind can stretch infinitely, all the way to divinity. It’s time. Time to become a god.”

“The "Divine Thought" does not imply the idea of a Divine thinker. The Universe, not only past, present, and future--which is a human and finite idea expressed by finite though--but in its totality, the Sat (an untranslatable term), the absolute being, with the Past and Future crystallized in an eternal Present, is that Thought itself reflected in a secondary or manifest cause.”

“The nymph who laments, guardian of our spring of tears, Dares come only within the compass of praising, of song, - She who watches over the settling of the precipitate, That it be clear, on that same rock That bears the gates and the altars. - See, about her shoulders so tranquil there rises The sensation that she must be the youngest Of those sisters, to be disposed so. Exultation knows, and fierce Desire acknowledges, - Only Lamentation must still learn; with a maiden’s hand She counts out the old sorrows through the night. But suddenly, slantwise and unpractised, She holds aloft a constellation of our voices Against the heavens, left unobscured by her breath.”

“But what offering can I consecrate to you, oh Master? - You, who have bestowed hearing upon all creatures? - My memory of one spring day, In the evening, in Russia, - a stallion ... Running alone from the hamlet across to us The pale horse, a tethering-peg dangling from his fetlock, To spend a night solitary in the meadow; How he shook his tangled mane, Tossed in time to his haughty step, Despite his clumsily impeded gallop. How the fountains leapt up of his charger’s blood! He intuited the vastnesses and, oh from that He sang! He heard! - yes, your cycle of legends Was embraced within him. His image: that I offer.”

“There is no need for us all to be alike and think the same way, neither do we need a common enemy to force us to come together and reach out to each other. If we allow ourselves and everyone else the freedom to fully individuate as spiritual beings in human form, there will be no need for us to be forced by worldly circumstances to take hands and stand together. Our souls will automatically want to flock together, like moths to the flame of our shared Divinity, yet each with wings covered in the glimmering colors and unique patterns of our individual human expression.”

“If you want to access your power as a divine human being, you must search for the small inside of the big and for the big inside of the small. When you look up into the expanse of sky overhead, look for the stars, the planets, the birds that fly. Small things for the eye to spot. And when you look down into the the face of a streetside flower, look for joy, happiness, comfort, stillness, and a silent song. When you have mastered finding the small in the big and the big in the small, you will have mastered your own divinity.”

“There's not one religion but two, one is commercial religion, rooted in fear, prejudice and bigotry, and the other is lived religion, rooted in kindness and inclusivity - the atheist and the believer drink from the same water, breathe the same air, eat the same food - mother nature, the actual origin of life, doesn't segregate between believer and nonbeliever, it's only the savages who do that.”

“Pick a drop of blood from your finger, pick a drop from another, smudge it all on the palm of your hand - now tell me, which is which - which is heretic, which is believer - which is the Christian blood, which is the Muslim - which is the faithful blood, which is forbidden!”

“If I Wrote God (Sonnet) If I wrote God, they'd would be kind and gentle, not vengeful and jealous. Freedom of choice would be first commandment, preventing wrongs they'd stand righteous. They'd refuse to entertain suffering, their grand design would epitomize equality. Sure, their world would still have problems, but it would be spared from ungodly atrocity. Law of Nature is its lack of meaning, as well as its lack of morality. We needed an image to bear the blame, and be the imaginary steward of our destiny. True godliness lies in behavior, not belief. Hand of God unfolds when human takes the steed.”
