The Divine Quotes

“The Divine is what you adore in Sri Aurobindo.”
― The Mother

“When men seek after the Immutable, the Indeterminable, the Unmanifest, the All-Pervading, the Unthinkable, the Summit Self, the Immobile, the Permanent, — equal in mind to all,
intent on the good of all beings, it is to Me that they come.”
― Anonymous, The Bhagavad Gita

“God sees God everywhere.”
― Francis Lucille, The Perfume of Silence

“Everywhere, even in the blackest abyss, he believed one might witness the divine. The shadows and contrast―absence itself―as important as the light and marble, for one cannot exist without the other.”
― Eowyn Ivey, To The Bright Edge of the World

“Edel sei der Mensch, hilfreich und gut! Denn das allein unterscheidet ihn von allen Wesen, die wir kennen.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“... for as the reality of light cannot be proved or described in terms of visible shape, the reality of the infinite cannot be proved in terms of the finite. For this reason every attempt to prove the existence of God by logic is a foregone failure. Logic cannot reach God. It may travel backwards in time from effect to cause, effect to cause, but as long as it stays in time, as it must, it cannot touch the eternal. That which doesn't not begin with the infinite cannot end with it.”
― Alan W. Watts, The Supreme Identity

“We are meant to be flowering of wisdom. We are means to be messages of God. That is our essential being, but we don't allow it to happen. We prevent it, because we are our own enemies.
To be a meditator is to become a friend to yourself. Don't be bothered about what others say that you should be or not should be. Listen to your own inner voice - and be it.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“We made but rough sketches of our gods at first,
They who were continually overthrown by sullen Fate.
But still, they were the Immortal Ones. And look, we may yet
Come to hear of He who will finally hear us.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

“I believe there are visions that come to us only in memory, in retrospect.”
― Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

“MEDITATION & DEVOTION

Most of our life issues and psychological problems occur from a lack of love and devotion.

We are searching for love outside of ourselves.

We are seeking to be loved, rather than to give love.

A criteria of spiritual maturity is when we begin to give love, rather than to ask for love.

Through developing love and devotion, we learn to love all beings.

We develop our inner being, the meditative quality within, the inner source of love and truth, the divine source inside ourselves, through which we can let love flow through us, not only to benefit ourselves, but for the good of all.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“Mercy is not the wellbeing ......It's described as a divine! #thankg_google_translate
-------------------------------------------------
الرحمة ليست الرفاهية ...... إنها توصف بأنها إلهية! ... هشام نيبر”
― Hesham Nebr

“Meditation is the door to that which cannot be thought of.

Those who escape from meditation cannot meet the divine.

The divine is a benediction.

The divine is everything, everywhere.

God is consciousness. God is bliss.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“When we go closer to the divine, bliss is growing.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“When we ge closer to the divine, benediction starts happening. When we go away from the divine, benediction starts disappearing.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten

“When a person experiences the divine, he can no longer condemn anyone. Love becomes natural to him, because he starts seeing godliness in everybody.
The person that has entered the inner temple of the heart of all living beings truly sees.
To experience godliness one has to recognize that which is hidden deep in the inner temple of the heart. The divine is hidden deep within yourself.
Godliness is the original source within everybody. Godliness is the ultimate mystery. Godliness is the universal self. It is the ultimate limit of existence.
Godliness is everywhere. Everything in the world is a reflection of the divine. To recognize the divine is the ultimate wisdom, the ultimate truth.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, When the Drop becomes the Ocean

“Religion in (the US) is so focused on fighting science and these compelling atheist voices that your preachers have lost track of what religion is really about. In... - the Eastern Church - and in Eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, religion isn't there to offer theories or explanation. We accept that the divine is unknowable.....for a lot of rational people..., it's become a choice. Fact or faith. Science or religion....You shouldn't have to choose.”
― Raymond Khoury, The Sign

“Religion is a box, but God is not square.”
― Toyin Omofoye

“God is not a theory, God is not a religious ideology or theology, God is an experience. God is an experience of dissolving into reality.
It is an experience of drowning in God. It is an experience of melting into the total like ice melting into water and becoming one with the river. This melting with the whole is the whole process of meditation.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, God is Everywhere: You are Divine, Everything is Divine

“Meditation expands our inner being. The inner being is like a small, individual river flowering towards the ocean. In meditation, I feel how my inner being expands into an inner ocean, which is part of everything, which is one with Existence. Through the inner being, we come in contact with the inner ocean, the undefined and boundless within ourselves, where we are one with life. We realize that God is part of life. We realize that God is not a person, but the consciousness that is part of everything. We find God in a flower, in a tree, in the eyes of a child or in a playful dog. Through discovering our inner being, we discover that we are also part of the flower, the child or the dog. We realize that God is everywhere.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, God is Everywhere: You are Divine, Everything is Divine

“It is unfortunate that very few people have ever tried to know meditation, because meditation is the way to joy and happiness.
Meditation means to participate in the celebration of existence. Without it life remains a misery, a sadness and a frustration. 
Meditation is the only way to be the blessed one and to participate in the mystery of ife. Meditation is the door to God.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Meditation: A Love Affair with the Whole - Thousand and One Flowers of Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Freedom, Beauty and the Divine

“Love is the most divine quality. When you grow in love, you are growing towards God, the divine. When you stop growing in love, you stop growing.
Some people go on accumulating money, power, status, position and knowledge.
It is wasting life to collect trivia. It is only through love that something starts
happening to your being. A new joy fills you from within, a new light dawns on you
and a new awe and wonder about life starts moving through you.
You begin to look into existence through the heart, which is the true window to life.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Meditation is the door to the divine in man. There is nothing more godly than meditation. In meditation you slip out of the mind, and you exist in your being, in your innermost core. Your being is rooted in God, the divine.
Every consciousness is rooted in God, ecause God means the ultimate consciousness. Meditation is the bridge that takes you to the very source of your being.
Once you have tasted the joy of being, then everything in life becomes divine.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Wisdom happens through the heart. Wisdom is of the heart, not through logic. When the heart is open with love, when the heart is surrendered to life, then a new insight arises in you, which is a deep understanding of what life is really all about. It is a deep understanding of who you really are. It is a deep understanding of why this existence really exists.
All the secrets of life are revealed through the heart, but not through logic. God, the divine, existence, has a direct connection with the heart, but has no connection with the head.
If one wants to approach God, the divine, the way goes through the heart. once you have know the wisdom of the heart, then you can use the mind in service of wisdom.
Move your energy from the head to the heart, and as your love grows, wisdom will descend on you.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“When you become one with God, when you exist in harmony with the whole, your life becomes a joy. The moment one becomes harmonious with God, one has found the divine within oneself. Jesus says: "I and my father in heaven is one."
He is crucified because of this great statement, because the small minds cannot tolerate it. Truth have suffered much, because people are so mediocre. They cannot rise a little higher to see the truth. Before one can understand the truth, one need to go through a radical change. One needs eyes to see and ears to hear. One needs a new vision.
Without God we are small and tiny, and we are struggling against a vast universe. The spiritual journey means to decide: from now on I will get more and more in tune with the whole. I will not try to remain separate from the whole. I will not try to be an isolated island. I will become one with the ocean.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Magic can be a lot of things all at once: It’s a tool for making your reality a little bit better. It’s a philosophy for understanding the world we live in. It’s a language through which we can talk to the divine. And it’s a technology for self-transformation and betterment. At different points in your magical practice, you will find that different aspects of magic resonate with you.”
― Sarah Lyons, How to Study Magic: A Guide to History, Lore, and Building Your Own Practice

“Man can live either as love or as an ego. These are the only two alternatives  in life. It is the only two alternative lifestyles. The ego is very attractive, because it promises great things, although it delivers nothing. The ego creates dreams and fantasies, but these fantasies take you further away from yourself. And to be away from yourself is to be away from God, the divine. 
Love is not at all persuasive. It will not prove itself. You have to choose love, because it does not propagate itself. When the ego fails, because of its deceptive dreams and mirages, it fails for intelligent people. For the stupdid people, it never fails. In that failure of the ego, one moves to egolessness.
This is what love is: love is egolessness. Now there is nowhere to go, nothing to achieve and your whole energy starts resting within yourself. And when your energy comes to rest at your center, one comes to know that one is not, only God is. 
One comes to know that God is my strength. One comes to know that God is my existence, hat God is my being. One comes to know that one is just a small manifestation of divine energy. To know it brings great joy. 
All worries disappears, all entities disappear, and now you know that there is somebody greater than you who takes care. You are his project to help you to be joyful. 
When you are inside yourself, you immediately hear the still, small voice within you - and that becomes your inner teacher, your inner guide and your guiding star. Then you have your own insight and you know what is right and wrong. Now you know that living according toone'e own being is to live authentically. That is the way of the spiritual person. ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“It is only through bliss that one becomes a messenger of God, the divine. The moment that you are blissful you become a vehicle, a passage for God to descend into the world. You become an opening for God to pour into the world.
Every blissful person can become a blessing to the world, because he becomes proof that God exists. There is not any outer proof. Only the presence of a blissful person is an indirect proof that something more than the mundane exists.
It is proof that something more than the so-called life exists. Philosophers and theologians have argued much to prove God, but they have not succeeded. Mystics have
proved it without any effort, because their presence was enough. Every blissful person is a messenger of God.
Meditation is the way to create as many blissful people as possible, because the world now needs as many proofs for God's existence as possible.
The misery and darkness of the world are becoming too heavy that God is disappearing from the world. The meditators have to become bridges between the ordinary
world and the spiritual world, which is within the ordinary world.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Love is the most divine experience on earth. Love proves that existence is not wthout 
meaning. Except for love there is no proof for the significance of life. If one has not experienced love one will feel meaninglessness in life. If one has not experience love one will feel an emptiness in life. One will feel at the mercy of unknown 
and material forces.
That is how materialists look at life. Life is just a combination of matter. and love is a combination of hormones and chemical reactions in the body. But then there is no significance in life, and without significance in life one can only drag through life. Thereis no song, no dance in life. 
The existentialist philosophers says that life is meaningless, but they still go on clinging to life. They talk about anguish, fear, anxiety, despair, struggle and death. But nobody 
becomes convinced that life is really meaningless, because life is not meaningless. Life has intrinsic value, but its has to be discovered. We are intuitively aware that life is not meaningless. Love gives us proof of it. A lover has no doubts about life's  meaning. It is only through love that people have slowly discovered the ultimate meaning, which is God, the divine. 
It is only through love that people have 
discovered the whole science of meditation, because in loving moment the mind stops. When you are really in love, in those moments the past and the future disappears, and the present moment becomes all. That is what meditation is. Love gives you a glimpse 
of meditation. And through meditation a window opens into the existence of God. 
That is why love is the most divine 
phenomenon on earth.
A seeker of truth has to be both a lover and a meditator, because both these qualities support each other. If you love, you will be able to meditate more deeply. If you meditate, you will be able to love more deeply. If you meditate, you will be able to love more totally. Love and meditation help each other. They support each other. 
The whole man knows both love and meditation. He lives on the earth, but he is part of the sky. And to be whole is to be holy. ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“The divine in man arises through meditation. Meditation is the door to the divine. Nothing is more godly than meditation, because in meditation you slip out of the mind. You disappear from the outside, and you exist at your innermost core. And your innermost core is rooted in God. Just as every tree is rooted in the earth, every consciousness is rooted in God. God means the ultimate consciousness.

Meditation is the bridge that takes you to the very source of your being. Once you have tasted the joy of being at the source, then everything else in life becomes meaningless. Then you can go on living the ordinary life, but it is all acting. It is a drama. You can play this drama, but you know that you are not part of it. It is a play, it is not your existence.

You can have all kinds of relationships in the world, but now you know the beauty of being alone. You know the bliss of being. You know the bliss of being at the centre in solitude.

Once that window opens your life is transformed. And that is the whole purpose of meditation. The purpose of meditation is to open that window, so that you can really know that you are godly.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“Life is to be lived, loved and experienced, because it is only at the innermost core that you will feel the presence of God.
When you live, love and experience life, you come close to the creative energy of existence. You have to be creative yourself. That is the only way to start participating in God's creation.
It is only through mediation that you become a servant of God, the divine. The moment you know the godliness of existence you naturally become a servant of God.
It is not something imposed on you from the outside. It comes out of your love for existence and from your wish to make the world more beautiful.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart
