“For my own part, I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await others. I believe that many who find that ‘nothing happens’ when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.”
C.S. Lewis“Life is energy and, as such, it belongs to all, reaches all, and blesses all.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion“I have some devotional books you can look over. Learn to quote from them. Nothing discourages unwanted questions as much as a flow of pious bleating.(Petyr Baelish to Sansa Stark)”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold“We have not advanced very far in our spiritual lives if we have not encountered the basic paradox of freedom, to the effect that we are most free when we are bound. But not just any way of being bound will suffice; what matters is the character of our binding. The one who would like to be an athlete, but who is unwilling to discipline his body by regular exercise and by abstinence, is not free to excel on the field or the track. His failure to train rigorously and to live abstemiously denies him the freedom to go over the bar at the desired height, or to run with the desired speed and endurance. With one concerted voice the giants of the devotional life apply the same principle to the whole of life with the dictum: Discipline is the price of freedom.”
Elton Trueblood, The New Man for Our Time“By studying Bhagavad-gītā, one can become a soul completely surrendered to the Supreme Lord and engage himself in pure devotional service. As the Lord takes charge, one becomes completely free from all kinds of materialistic endeavors.”
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada“It has been said that the body is the temple of the spirit and the mind is the altar within that temple. When we practice hatha yoga we allow ourselves to come fully into the temple of the body—not simply as a tourist wishing to admire the fine architecture, but as a seeker on a pilgrimage of deep devotion and reverence.Meditation is the devotional practice of placing on the altar of the mind that which is sacred, holy, and revered. Just as you would not place garbage on the altar of a great temple, meditation allows a yogi to place on the altar of her mind that which is noble, pure, and free from attachment.”
Darren Main, The River of Wisdom: Reflections on Yoga, Meditation, and Mindful Living“What we do determines much of what happens in the world to come, not just for ourselves, but for those around us.”
Lori Hatcher, Hungry for God ... Starving for Time - Five-Minute Devotions for Busy Women“Life is hard. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying. But life without faith is even harder.”
Lori Hatcher, Hungry for God ... Starving for Time - Five-Minute Devotions for Busy Women“God has already been in your tomorrow, and is working on your today.”
Virginia Martin, Faith Without Borders: A Devotional to Inspire You to Step Out in Faith.“God has equipped me for battle, and is by my side leading me to victory.”
