Spirituality Quote of the Week

We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. Our abundance has brought us neither peace of mind nor serenity of spirit.

— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Spirituality Quote of the Week

It is not that we go out into the world with a capacity to love others greatly. This too we know in ourselves, that our capacity for love is limited. And it has to be completed with the capacity to be loved, to accept love from others, to want to be loved by others, to admit our loneliness and to live with our loneliness because everybody is lonely.

— Thomas Merton

Spirituality Quote of the Week

One must never give up hope of becoming better. A person is old only when he refuses to make the effort to change. That stagnant state is the only “old age” I recognize.

— Paramahansa Yogananda

Spirituality Quote of the Week

You can’t offend the Divine One; its very nature is light, love, compassion, protection, and giving. You can’t make it stop loving you. It’s just like the sun. You can’t make the sun stop shining on you; you can only choose not to look at it. The moment you look, you’ll see it’s there.

— Michael A. Singer

Spirituality Quote of the Week

It is no accident that human beings bury the dead, that we return our parents and loved ones to the earth, for these are our roots. And tending to the roots ensures healthy growth in our own lives. Seeing under the surface is part of the spiritual journey of self-knowledge that leads to God.

— Diana Butler Bass

Spirituality Quote of the Week

When you love, you should not say, “God is in my heart," but rather, “I am in the heart of God.” And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

— Kahlil Gibran

Spirituality Quote of the Week

The scholar, pure and clear of mind, serene and open of heart, should find in everything what nourishes him. But if you want to know where the flowers come from, even the god of spring doesn’t know.

— Diarmuid O’Murchu

Spirituality Quote of the Week

It is unconditional compassion for ourselves that leads naturally to unconditional compassion for others. If we are willing to stand fully in our own shoes and never give up on ourselves, then we will be able to put ourselves in the shoes of others and never give up on them.

— Pema Chodron

Spirituality Quote of the Week

There is nothing wrong with striving to improve your life situation. You can improve your life situation, but you cannot improve your life. Life is primary. Life is your deepest inner Being. It is already whole, complete, perfect.

— Eckhart Tolle

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Chanting is at the heart of all sacred traditions worldwide, and for very good reason: it is fundamentally a deep-immersion experience in the creative power of the universe itself.

-- Cynthia Bourgeault

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Most people lack imagination much more than they lack good will. If someone points out what can be done and what ought to be done, there is usually someone to do it.

We are, each of us, God's hands here on earth. If we turn away from darkness, the light of goodness and hope will fade in the very places it is most needed. We must not let that happen.

-- Kent Nerburn

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path that leads to the Self within.

-- The Bhagavad Gita

Spirituality Quote of the Week

A spiritual life requires discipline because we need to learn to listen to God, who constantly speaks but whom we seldom hear.

-- Henri Nouwen

Spirituality Quote of the Week

When you cease doing, then God will begin.

-- Watchman Nee

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Standing firm in one's faith does not mean adhering to a set of beliefs; it does not require us to suppress doubts about Christian or other doctrines, but points to something which lies beyond doubt in the depth in which man's being and all being is rooted. To be aware of this Ground, to live in it and out of it is ultimate strength.

-- Paul Tillich

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Mental hell on earth is waking up with expectations every morning and going to sleep disappointed in yourself every night.

-- Kenny Werner

Spirituality Quote of the Week

God is ever-present in our world in the face of the poor, waiting to be met. In the powerless, one can find the power of God; in the voiceless, one can hear the voice of God; in the impoverished, one can find God's treasures; in the weak, one can find God's strength; and in the unattractive, one can find God's beauty.

-- Ronald Rolheiser

Spirituality Quote of the Week

Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself. Hold the consciousness of good. The way to make people good is to see the good in them.

-- Paramahansa Yogananda
