“It is of primary importance to attune with God through prayer, worship and the chanting of God's holy names … Then God Himself will give you good guidance.”

Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji (1942) Indian guru

As quoted at the Introductory page of Datta Peetham. http://www.dattapeetham.com

“We have to let God's love break through the hard crust of our indifference, our spiritual weariness, our blind conformity to the spirit of this age. Only then can we let it ignite our imagination and shape our deepest desires. That is why prayer is so important: daily prayer, private prayer in the quiet of our hearts and before the Blessed Sacrament, and liturgical prayer in the heart of the Church.”

Pope Benedict XVI (1927) 265th Pope of the Catholic Church

“I'm not unmindful of man's seeming need for faith; I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniel's. But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle.”

“It cannot therefore be true that images are the textbooks of laypersons. For they are unable to learn their salvation from them. … How can you save lay persons when you ascribe to images the power which God gave to his word alone?”

Context: You have to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, namely by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one: from grace to grace FROM EXALTATION TO EXALTATION until you ATTAIN THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
