“Apprehend God in all things, for God is in all things. Every single creature is full of God and a book about God. Every creature is a word of God. If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature – even a caterpillar- I would never have to prepare a sermon. So full of God is every creature.”

“How do I understand that a man is saint? Sri Ramkrishna has mentioned, ‘He is the saint whose mind, life and everything are merged into God? Where is God? He is within you. The only saint is God.

“For Ragamuffins, God's name is Mercy. We see our darkness as a prized possession because it drives us into the heart of God. Without mercy our darkness would plunge us into despair - for some, self-destruction. Time alone with God reveals the unfathomable depths of the poverty of the spirit. We are so poor that even our poverty is not our own: It belongs to the mysterium tremendum of a loving God.”

“They had not yet attained the stupefying boredom of omnipotence; their experiments did not always succeed.”
