Quotes About Spirituality
By peace | July 25, 2007
The life of the spirit, by integrating us in the real order established by God, puts us in the fullest possible contact with reality — not as we imagine it, but as it really is. ~ Thomas Merton
Spirituality promotes passivity when the domain of spirit is defined as outside the world. When this world is the terrain of spirit, we ourselves become actors in the story, and this world becomes the realm in which the sacred must be honoured and freedom created. ~ Starhawk
To the analytical mind, the universe is broken apart. It is split into the known and unknown, into the seen and unseen. But, in the mystic contemplation, all things are seen as one. The mystic mind tends to hold the world together. ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel
Living the spiritual life means living life as one unified reality. The forces of darkness are the forces that split, divide and set in opposition. The forces of light unite. Literally, the word “diabolic” means dividing. The demon divides; the Spirit unites. ~ Henri J. M. Nouwen
Spirituality is the sacred center out of which all life comes, including Mondays and Tuesdays and rainy Saturday afternoons in all their mundane and glorious detail… The spiritual journey is the soul’s life commingling with ordinary life. ~ Christina Baldwin
Awareness of the sacred in life is what holds our world together, and the lack of awareness of the sacred is what is tearing it apart. ~ Joan Chittister
We are not human beings learning to be spiritual; we are spiritual beings learning to be human. ~ Jacquelyn Small
We’re not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences — it’s the other way round: we’re spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences. ~ Deepak Chopra
The spiritual path… is simply the journey of living our lives. Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don’t know it. ~ Marianne Williamson
Spiritual life is a matter of becoming who you truly are. It’s not becoming Catherine of Siena, or some other saint, but who you are. It sounds easy enough, but being who you truly are is work, courage and faith. ~ Richard Rohr
Maybe the tragedy of the human race was that we had forgotten we were each Divine. ~ Shirley Maclaine
There is no good in trying to be more spiritual than God. God never means man to be a purely spiritual creature… He likes matter. He created it. ~ C.S. Lewis
Spiritual energy brings compassion into the real world. With compassion, we see benevolently our own human condition and the condition of our fellow beings. We drop prejudice. We withhold judgment. ~ Christina Baldwin
Spiritual maturity begins when we realize that we are God’s guests in this world. We are not householders, but pilgrims; not landlords, but tenants; not owners, but guests. ~ C. Willard Fetter
