"if we cannot recognize the divinity in the Prophets of other nations, we have not realized
the divinity of our own Prophet and we have not understood the eternal Truth of the Unity of
Divine Being under the variety of names and forms.... I am sure that the Christian who
sees the divinity in Christ alone and who does not recognize his own Master (Christ)
when he comes in the form of the Buddha or Krishna has not realized the divinity of
Christ Himself" (Swami Abhedananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna)

The path to liberation is not made by us, but is prepared for us,by the descent of the Savior: “Seals in My hands, I will descend, down through the universal aeons will I make a way; all mysteries I will
reveal and manifest the forms the gods display.” (G.R.S. Meade quoting Christ from an ancient text in “Quests Old and New”)

“the Word of God desires to repeat in men the Mystery of His Incarnation,” giving birth to Christ spiritually, as the Mother of God did bodily. St Maximos the Confessor and Metropolitan Chrysostomos in his book “ (Abba Dorotheos of Gaza.)

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature (trees, flowers, grass) grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - (Mother Teresa)

“The more you are afflicted the more you ought to rejoice, because in the fire of tribulation the soul will become pure gold, worth to shine in the heavenly palace” (Padre Pio)
