It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. for the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. it is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. in perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for god: and it is lost and submerged in him and transformed into him.

The separation of church and state is necessary partly because if religion is good then the state shouldn't interfere with the religious vision or with the religious prophet. there must be a realm of truth beyond political competence, that's why there must be a separation of churches, but if religion is bad and a bad religion is one that gives an ultimate sanctity to some particular cause. then religion mustn't interfere with the state - so one of the basic democratic principles as we know it in america is the separation of church and state.

A religious belief is not a statement about reality, but a hint, a clue about something that is a mystery, beyond the grasp of human thought. in short, a religious belief is only a finger pointing to the moon. some religious people never get beyond the study of the finger. others are engaged in sucking it. others yet use the finger to gouge their eyes out. these are the bigots whom religion has made blind. rare indeed is the religionist who is sufficiently detached from the finger to see what it is indicating - these are those who, having gone beyond belief, are taken for blasphemers.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a world where everybody said, 'we don't know?' the fact is that you're surrounded -god and you don't see god, because you know about god. the final barrier to the vision of god is your god concept. you miss god because you think you know. the highest knowledge of god is to know god as unknowable. all revelations, however divine, are never any more than a finger pointing at the moon. as we say in the east, 'when the sage points to the moon, all the idiot sees is the finger'.
