Could everybody please share that one special quote from there faith that helps them reconnect with there spirituality??? What one quote reminds you that there are forces greater then you at work? Why do you love this quote? Please share anything you would like to! Thank you!
"In nature there is fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity."
... but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint...
This helped me through one of the most trying times in my relationship.
All worked out in the end, now I'm at the BEST point!
"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old. Seek what they sought." Matsuo Basho
I've always loved this one because it reminds me not to get so caught up in the "pomp and circumstance" or doing things "the right way" in my spiritual practice.
"Believe those who seek the truth. Doubt those who find it."
Kind of self explanitory but it reminds me that there is no one truth for everyone. Personal truths are neither wrong nor right.
And my all time favorite: "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are Spiritual beings having a human experience."
