LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I believe that the world was created in love, is sustained by love, and nothing matters more than love.

We see ourselves as separate beings, but in fact we are all part of one puzzle, made of the same substance. We are all molecules and we are joined together by molecules. The air that seems to separate us is not emptiness, but is made of the same stuff as us. All is ONE.

I am not the only one who believes that it is critical for us to love and cherish our fellow beings…

It is in love that religion exists and not in ceremony-in the pure and sincere love in the heart. Unless a man is pure in body and mind, his coming into a temple and worshipping Shiva is useless. The prayers of those who are pure in mind and body will be answered by Shiva, and those who are impure and yet try to teach religion to others will fail in the end. External worship is only a symbol of internal worship, but internal worship and purity are the real things. Without them, external worship would be of no avail. – Swami Vivekananda

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. –Swami Vivekananda

The miracle of being an instrument of kindness, is the most powerful of all.– Radhanath Swami

Whatever may be the difference in men’s creed, dress, language etc. because they all belong to the same kind of creation, there is no harm at all in their dining together or having marital relation with one another. –Sree Narayana Guru

Acts that one performs For one’s own sake Should also aim for the good Of other men –Sree Narayana Guru

All gods are one. There is no difference between a Hindu and a Muslim. Mosque and temple are the same. –Sri Sathya Sai Baba

My children should pray for the peace and welfare of one and all, rather than indulging in outward exhibition. –Amma

Even if we have to punish a person, deep within ourselves we should have love towards him. –Amma

India has always existed for humanity and not for herself and it is for humanity and not for herself that she must be great. –Sri Aurobindo

The dance goes from realizing that you’re separate (which is the awakening) to then trying to find your way back into the totality of which you are not only a part, but which you are. –Ram Dass

All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love’s sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live.” –Swami Vivekananda

We must, therefore, purge ourselves of hatred. Speaking for myself, I can say that I have never felt any hatred. –Gandhi

Somehow I figure that why we take incarnation is because we learn about two things in this life: suffering and love. –Ram Dass

I must admit it in all humility, that however indifferently it may be, I endeavor to represent love in every fiber of my being. –Gandhi

I began to realize more and more the infinite possibilities of universal love. –Gandhi
