Quote by Jeremy Taylor

A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.

A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.

Summary

This quote suggests that for a religion to truly connect with the divine, it must embrace and acknowledge the element of mystery. It implies that if a religious belief system tries to strip away all the unknown and unravel every aspect of the divine, it ultimately removes the essence of God from the equation. By recognizing and embracing the mysteries that cannot be fully understood or explained, a religion allows room for a deeper and more transcendent connection with the divine.

There is no holy life. There is no war between good and evil

There is no holy life. There is no war between good and evil. There is no sin and no redemption. None of these things matter to the real you. But they all matter hugely to the false you, the one who believes in the separate self. You have tried to take your separate self, with all its loneliness and anxiety and pride, to the door of enlightenment. But it will never go through, because it is a ghost.
