Human beings must be known to be loved but Divine beings must be loved to be known.

Most religions live from a narrative that shapes their relationship with the divine other God or the gods and with the human other the stranger.

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

I think that to a very great extent we are partners with the divine in this enterprise called history. That is an ongoing relationship and there is absolutely no guarantee that things will automatically work out to our best advantage.

Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray you begin to feel the sense of being sent that the divine compulsion is upon you.

Nothing in the universe is contingent but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other it seems to me in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband that they belong to each other in the name of Nature and are lovers by Divine right in spite of human convention or the laws.

I mean if a person acts irresponsibly in his own life he will pay the consequences. And it's not so much divine retribution as it's built into the law of nature.

To be perfectly just is an attribute of the divine nature to be so to the utmost of our abilities is the glory of man.

Music is the divine way to tell beautiful poetic things to the heart.
