\u201cJust as a candle cannot burn without fire, man cannot live without a spiritual life.\u201d As awkward as this initiation of the awakening process may feel, it nurtures our desire to journey on the spiritual path. In the beginning, living a more spiritual life and surrendering more and more to God may not always be easy.<\/p>\n However, as time progresses, it will make your life a lot more worthwhile in a very beautiful way. In fact, almost all who\u2019ve ever embarked on the spiritual path wouldn\u2019t want to miss the many benefits that come with it. Even more so, most shrug at the thought of having to return to their old ways of living.<\/p>\n Spirituality can marvelously enrich your entire life. It frees you from the never-ending rat race of ever pursuing more. It also helps you to fill that awkward hole in your heart that no material possession, relationship, or worldly experience could ever feel (for too long). Let\u2019s have a look at these transformative spiritual quotes that celebrate the marvels, wonders, and joys of living a spiritual life.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.\u201c \u201cIf we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.\u201c \u201cIt does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters\u201c \u201cI realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose.\u201c \u201cThe darker the night, the brighter the stars, \u201cWe may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night; but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.\u201c \u201cLord, make me an instrument of thy peace. \u201cOur biological rhythms are the symphony of the cosmos, music embedded deep within us to which we dance, even when we can’t name the tune.\u201c \u201cOne of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. Say, \u2018I love you\u2019, \u2018I’m sorry\u2019, \u2018I appreciate you\u2019, \u2018I’m proud of you\u2019… whatever you’re feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it… cause a smile today for someone else… and give plenty of hugs.\u201c \u201cStars, too, were time travelers. How many of those ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light not yet come this far? If all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize we were alone? I had always known the sky was full of mysteries \u2014 but not until now had I realized how full of them the earth was.\u201c \u201cWalk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it…\u201c \u201cAge has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.\u201c \u201cThere is a LIGHT in this world. A healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, and too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.\u201c \u201cBelieve in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.\u201c \u201cThe important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.\u201c \u201cKnock, and He’ll open the door. Vanish, And He’ll make you shine like the sun. Fall, and He’ll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, and He’ll turn you into everything.\u201c \u201cThe first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.\u201c \u201cHow hurtful it can be to deny one’s true self and live a life of lies just to appease others.\u201c \u201cMy 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.\u201c \u201cThe great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God’s love for us does not.\u201c \u201cBelieve something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you’ve changed, by believing. Once you’ve changed, other things start to follow. Isn’t that the way it works?\u201c \u201cCrying is one of the highest devotional songs. One who knows crying, knows spiritual practice. If you can cry with a pure heart, nothing else compares to such a prayer.\u201c \u201cGod will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.\u201c \u201cDon’t ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.\u201c \u201cI have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That’s how it often is. God’s voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.\u201c \u201cForgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.\u201c \u201cWe must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.\u201c \u201cIt takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty, life is unfinished.\u201c \u201cYou’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, \u201cAnd out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history\u2014money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery\u2014the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.\u201c \u201cWe are a way for the cosmos to know itself.\u201c \u201cThroughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.\u201c \u201cBecause God is never cruel, there is a reason for all things. We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.\u201c \u201cWhen you connect to the silence within you, that is when you can make sense of the disturbance going on around you.\u201c \u201cMore smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.\u201c \u201cWhat you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.\u201c \u201cI challenge every one of you who can hear me to rise to the divinity within you. Do we really realize what it means to be a child of God, to have within us something of the divine nature?\u201c \u201cHave you ever met someone for the first time, but in your heart, you feel as if you\u2019ve met them before?\u201c \u201cA man\u2019s spirit is free, but his pride binds him with chains of suffocation in a prison of his own insecurities\u201c \u201cNo woman wants to be in submission to a man who isn’t in submission to God!\u201c \u201cGod is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can\u2019t trace his hand, trust his heart.\u201c \u201cWe are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.\u201c \u201cJoy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.\u201c \u201cWe are an impossibility in an impossible universe.\u201c \u201cPrayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.\u201c \u201cVulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.\u201c \u201cNo, no, it’s not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. And the universe doesn’t. It takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can’t see.\u201c \u201cNever be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.\u201c \u201cThe goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.\u201c \u201cRemember your connection with the cosmos. Remember your connection with the infinity and that remembrance will give you the freedom.\u201c \u201cWith or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding\u201c \u201cInside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.\u201c \u201cWhat Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul\u201c \u201cPoor God, how often He is blamed for all the suffering in the world. It\u2019s like praising Satan for allowing all the good that happens.\u201c \u201cPain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.\u201c \u201cI am never alone wherever I am. The air itself supplies me with a century of love. When I breathe in, I am breathing in the laughter, tears, victories, passions, thoughts, memories, existence, joys, moments, and the hues of the sunlight on many tones of skin; I am breathing in the same air that was exhaled by many before me. The air that bore them life. And so how can I ever say that I am alone?\u201c \u201cMake your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.\u201c \u201cI choose gentleness… Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.\u201c \u201cHuman spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear and superstition. By the year 2050, when the conflict began, the world had fallen upon fearful, superstitious times.\u201c \u201cThe resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That’s where you need to go.\u201c \u201cMathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.\u201c \u201cYour inner natural flow of life connects you with the natural flow of life that takes place in the universe.\u201c \u201cWhen I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.\u201c \u201cIf you let people break your spirit and detour you from your path, then you have not been true to yourself or those you’re here to touch, those who believe in you.\u201c \u201cOne thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don’t leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.\u201c
