"We can hear about God, and read about God, until our eyes pop out of ourhead. But what good is it to us unless we have a direct experience of God? We should try not to intellectualize our knowledge of it, but nurture our personal experiences. This gives us certainty, faith, and the trust to surrender to God. The miracle is faith itself."

"It is also very easy to talk about faith when you don't need it at that moment. The time you really test your faith is when you are ready to 'throw in the towel.'"

"Seek the consciousness that we are all one.
I have come to show you a unity beyond duality.
I have come to remove the divisions between all religions.
I have come to unite all people regardless of their origin.
There is only one humanity.
I want to show you a freedom beyond all your imaginings.
I will build a water-hole where the lion
And the goat may come together and drink."

                              -- Sri Babaji 18 April, 1980
