Quote of the Week

The Source of All Happiness

"What God gives us is the opportunity to connect directly with Him, to taste the Eternal, to become a vessel for Divine Love, to literally know God, to experience the indescribable bliss of connecting with the very Being, the very Light, the very Love that created us. . . It is this eternal, omnipresent, formless, all-merciful Being of Pure Love we are really seeking. It is the source of all of our happiness and every moment of inner peace we have ever experienced."

John E. Welshons, When Prayers Aren't Answered. Navato, CA: New World Library, 2007, p.30.

God is Not Remote and Esoteric

"Far removed from the throngs of city-dwellers who move against a backdrop of concrete, glass, and steel, my lonely walks on winding cow paths evoke a central truth: my spiritual well-being rests on the quality of my relationship with the Creator and His creation. . . The Creator is not remote and esoteric, but is available daily, hourly, and second by second; awareness of Him, evoked in inner stillness, can be as private and as essential as breathing."

Visakha, Harmony and the Bhagavad-gita. Badger, CA: Torchlight Publishing, 2011, p 44.
