This feeling of helplessness in us has arisen from our deliberate dismissal of God from our common affairs.
This belief in God has to be based on faith which transcends reason.
The Vedas are as indefinable as God and Hinduism.
The sum of all that lives is God.
The sky may be overcast today with clouds, but a fervent prayer to God is enough to dispel them.
There is no greater spellbinder of peace than the name of God.
There is only one God for us all, whether we find him through the Koran, the Zend-Avesta, The Tolmud, or the Gita.
There can be in the eyes of God no distinction between man and man, even as there is no distinction between animal and animal.
The power we call God defies description.
The nonviolent man automatically becomes a servant of God.
The Law which governs all life is God.
The Law is God. Anything attributed to Him is not a mere attribute. He is Truth, Love, Law and a million things that human ingenuity can name.
The Law and the Lawgiver are one.
The knowledge of the omnipresence of God also means respect for the lives even of those who may be called opponents.
