    Your faith can move mountains and your doubts can create them.

    Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

    There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt
    separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates freindships
    and breaks up relations.

    We have confused God with Santa Claus.
    Many people believe that prayer means making a list
    of everything you don't have, but want, and trying to
    persuade God you deserve it. Now I'm sorry, that's not God,
    that's Santa Claus.

    I found l had less and less to say, until finally, I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God

    Excerpts from writings by Paramahansa Yogananda What is God? The sanskrit term for God is Sat-Chit-Ananda: — eternal Being or Truth (Sat), — infinite Consciousness (Chit), — and ever new Bliss (Ananda). Ever-existing means that He is eternal; ever-conscious means He is always conscious of His eternal existence; and ever-new Bliss means that He is a joy that never grows stale. Every human being is seeking that kind of experience. Man's rationalizing mind cannot conceive God as the Nameless Absolute; but He is comprehensible in the concept of a triune nature consisting of consciousness, existence, and divine love or bliss. 1. Consciousness: all-pervading Omniscience; 2. Existence: cosmic will expressing as the objectification of life and all manifestation; 3. Bliss (divine love): Love perfected is bliss. Bliss, love, and beauty —these terms synonymously complement one another. Beauty is the harmonious manifestation of love; the perfection of love is bliss. -- Read more: http://yogananda.com.au/pyr/what_is_God.html
