Those who speculate from the shore about the ocean shall know only its surface, but those who would know the depths of the ocean must be willing to plunge into it.

But such a tiny and trivial thing as an umbrella can deprive you of the sight of such a stupendous fact as the sun.

To love God in the most practical way is to love our fellow beings. If we feel for others in the same way as we feel for our own dear ones, we love God.

Love has to spring spontaneously from within And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; But though love cannot be forced on anyone, It can be awakened in him through love itself. Love is essentially self communicative; Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible, And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.

...the more a person becomes spiritually minded or advances towards God, the more tolerant he becomes and the less differentiation he sees.

God and love are identical, and one who has divine love has received God.

Pure love is matchless in majesty; it has no parallel in power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel.
