God In Everything Quotes

“Don't you sometimes find it hard to remember God all through your work?" asked Clementina.

"I don't try to consciously remember Him every moment. For He is in everything, whether I am thinking of it or not. When I go fishing, I go to catch God's fish. When I take Kelpie out, I am teaching one of God's wild creatures. When I read the Bible or Shakespeare, I am listening to the word of God, uttered in each after its own kind. When the wind blows on my face, it is God's wind.”
― George MacDonald, The Marquis' Secret

“I believe that the heartbeat of God can be felt in everything. The concept of God is not aloof to me, nor is it difficult for me to grasp! When I see the tender embrace of a father, I see God; when I breathe, I breathe God, He moves inside my lungs! I am not without God, because God is in everything!”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Spirituality is not taking shelter under religions or prophets but making deep union with the God that exist in every heart.”
― Amit Ray, Walking the Path of Compassion

“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.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

“[A sannyasin returning to the West, expressed sadness at the thought of leaving Osho.]

Osho : Sadness is also good. One has to learn that everything is good.

Sadness goes to the very depths of your being, reaches to the very centre, penetrates you to the very heart.

God comes to you in everything, in different forms and different ways. Sometimes He comes as sadness to give you depth. Sometimes He comes as happiness to create ripples of laughter on your surface. Sometimes He comes as life, sometimes as death, but only He is coming through different forms.

Multi are His forms, many are His ways, and millions are His faces. One has to learn to recognise Him in whatsoever form He comes.

When He comes as sadness, remember that is also His image. Maybe this is needed right now.

There was one sufi mystic, Bayazid, who used to pray to God every day, expressing thanks and gratitude. Sometimes there was nothing to be thankful for.

One time he and his disciples were hungry for three days.
But again, that evening, Bayazid thanked God.

One disciple said, 'This is too much. We cannot tolerate it! For what are you thanking God?' Bayazid had been saying, 'You are so good, my Lord. Whatsoever we need, you always give us.' The disciple said 'Now it is going too far. For three days we have been hungry and have been thrown out of every village, and people have been out to kill us. And You are saying "Whatsoever is needed, you always give us"! Now what has He given us for these three days?'

Bayazid laughed and said, 'He has given us three days' poverty, and hunger and people who are after our lives. Whatsoever is needed, He always gives. This is needed. This must be needed because He knows better than we.'

This is the religious attitude. The religious attitude is very alchemical - it transforms everything. The baser metal is immediately transformed into gold once you have the religious outlook. The religious outlook is the philosopher's stone. You touch anything and immediately it becomes gold.

So touch your sadness with a religious, grateful heart, and suddenly you will see that even sadness has a beauty to it. A silence will immediately settle around you and you will feel thankful that He has given sadness to you. He always gives in the right moment whatsoever was needed. You may not understand. Sometimes you may even misunderstand, but that doesn't make any difference.

For these few months that you will be away, try to recognise Him in every form...”
― Osho, Beloved of my heart: A Darshan diary

“Heaven's ways do not always display themselves in a spectacular science-defying manner.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Vocation of a Gadfly
