God does not work in all hearts alike, but according to the preparation and sensitivity He finds in each.

Nobody at any time is cut off from God.

To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process

The most powerful prayer, one well-nigh omnipotent, and the worthiest work of all is the outcome of a quiet mind. The quieter it is the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is. To the quiet mind all things are possible. What is a quiet mind? A quiet mind is one which nothing weighs on, nothing worries, which, free from ties and from all self-seeking, is wholly merged into the will of God and dead to its own.

That which a man acquires by contemplation he should spend in love.
