What is Not Spirituality?

World Spirituality

“We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection ”

- The Dalai Lama

World Spirituality

“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 Theresa

World Spirituality

“Faith is to believe what we do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what we believe ”
