Quotations About God I



Far beyond your intellect, far beyond your understanding, lies inexhaustible knowledge and wealth, strength and power, peace and joy. Do not use your intellect to find the answers for God and his manifestations. Everything is God. ~ Swami Vishnu-Devananda

Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope. ~ George Santayana


God, so approachable by him who knows how to love, is hidden from him who knows only how to understand. ~ Alexis Carrel


God will of necessity always be a hidden God. His loudest cry is silence. If he does not manifest himself to us, we will say that he hides himself. And if he manifests himself, we will accuse him of veiling himself. Ah! It is not easy for God to make himself known to us! ~ Louis Evely


Our responding to life's unfairness with sympathy and with righteous indignation, God's compassion and God's anger working through us, maybe the surest proof of all God's reality. ~ Harold S. Kushner

He is the first and the last, the manifest and the hidden: and He Knoweth all things. ~ Al'Quran


God does not ask anything else of you except that you let yourself go and let God be God in you. ~ Meister Eckhart


God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed. ~ St. Augustine


God cannot be grasped by the mind. If he could be grasped he would not be God. ~ Evagrius Ponticus


The less theorizing you do about God, the more receptive you are to his inpouring. ~ Meister Eckhart


Nothing is stranger, more disconcerting, more misleading than a manifestation of God. We always take God to be different from what he is. ~ Louis Evely
