WHAT MEN THOUGHT God
[From The Rosicrucian Digest September 1947]
God--assumes various forms, just as fire where it is mingled with different
kinds of incense is named according to the savor of each.--Heraclitus.
God--is only mind, sacred and ineffable mind, flashing through the whole
universe with swift thoughts.--Empedocles.
To escape from evil we must be made, as far as possible, like God; and this
resemblance consists in becoming just, and holy, and wise.--Plato.
So long as egoism is in the heart, God cannot shine upon it.--Sri Ramakrishna.
Know God, who is number and harmony.--Pythagoras.
All is in God, all lives and moves in God.--Spinoza.
Thou art in my heart ... Thou art lifetime Thyself, and men live in
Thee.--Akhenaton.
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the
glass.--Whitman.
God's life is like that of which we catch a transient glimpse when our life is
at its best.--Aristotle.
