““Ah, yes, the spiritual realm.” In those days “spiritual” was my least favorite word. It still is.”

“In the spiritual realm nothing is indifferent: what is not useful is harmful.”

“One day, Ananda, who had been thinking deeply about things for a while, turned to the Buddha and exclaimed: "Lord, I've been thinking - spiritual friendship is at least half of the spiritual life!" The Buddha replied: "Say not so, Ananda, say not so. Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual life!"”

“Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it.”

“Religion and science are all in pursuit of reaching the spiritual realm, thus transcending bodily things.”

“Spiritual truth should never be sold — those who sell it injure themselves spiritually.”

“Spirituality does not encourage idleness, but you must be more practical than those who are not spiritual.”

“I burned through all of my extra lives in a matter of minutes, and my two least-favorite words appeared on the screen: GAME OVER.”

“An a priori decision to eliminate spiritual intelligence from consideration is no more justifiable than a decision to admit it by fiat or on faith. After all, once one includes the understanding of the personal realm within a study of intelligence, such human proclivities as the spiritual must legitimately be considered. There certainly are no easy grounds for a decision, but several other intelligences deal with phenomena other than sheer physical matter. If the abstract realm of mathematics constitutes a reasonable area of intelligence (and few would challenge that judgment), why not the abstract realm of the spiritual?”

“Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So today is my new favorite day.”
