Only Those Will Apprehend Religion Who Can

To Become Aware Of The Ineffable Is To Part Company With Words...the Tangent To The Curve Of Human Experience Lies Beyond The Limits Of Language. The World Of Things We Perceive Is But A Veil. It’s Flutter Is Music, Its Ornament Science, But What It Conceals Is Inscrutable. It’s Silence Remains Unbroken; No Words Can Carry It Away. Sometimes We Wish The World Could Cry And Tell Us About That Which Made It Pregnant With Fear--filling Grandeur. Sometimes We Wish Our Own Heart Would Speak Of That Which Made It Heavy With Wonder.

Worship Is A Way Of Seeing The World In The Light Of God.

We Are Closer To God When We Are Asking Questions Than When We Think We Have The Answers.

Understanding God Is Not Attained By Calling Into Session All Arguments For And Against Him, In Order To Debate Whether He Is A Reality Or A Figment Of The Mind. God Cannot Be Sensed As A Second Thought, As An Explanation Of The Origin Of The Universe. He Is Either The First And The Last, Or Just Another Concept.

Religion Has Become An Impersonal Affair, An Institutional Loyalty. It Survives On The Level Of Activities Rather Than In The Stillness Of Commitment.
