Sunday Bulletin
A student of religion may commit to memory and recite by heart the Qur’an, the Bible or the Gita. But to live by the words requires a different kind of commitment and the sometimes painful admission that we are not always up to the task.
We are not just meant to read, or to pray, but to see—to live.
“The abstract Advaita must become living—poetic—in everyday life.”
—Swami Vivekananda
“If the ocean were ink to write out the words of God, the ocean would be exhausted sooner than would the words even if we added another ocean like it.”
—Qur’an
”Truth to be real must incarnate in human life.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
”Let not the wise man try to illumine those who are attached to the senses and sensory action by merely instructing them in words. Let him perform action with the realization of the Self and thus lead the ignorant to the attainment of wisdom through action.”
—Bhagavad Gita
