The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's self-centered to think that human beings, as limited as we are, can describe divinity.
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who had been seeking God, but God who had been seeking me. I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God.
At present, too much theological thinking is very human-centered.
And almost every one, when age, Disease, or sorrows strike him, Inclines to think there is a God, Or something very like him.
Religion can be one of the greatest impediments to finding God.
Every man makes a god of his own desire.
That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.
You don't have to be peculiar to find God.
