I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion no political party and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way ours is merely another way.
There's naught no doubt so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.
Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors and used as the framework to control their minds.
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
Krishna children were taught that in the spiritual world there were no parents only souls and hence this justified their being kept out of view from others cloistered in separate buildings and sheltered from the evil material world.
The Godhead consists of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father is a material being.
Recounting of a life story a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual.
Prayer is the spirit speaking truth to Truth.
I have a much wider freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own personally. You know let it be theirs - a personal relationship with their soul or their God or with their church.
