"If there is a God, he is within. You don't ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme."
"A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Not thinking yet not dreaming, ready for whatever may come. A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and face the consequences of his own doing. To have no technique, there is no opponent, because the word "I" does not exist. When the opponent expands I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "It" hits all by itself." -- from Enter the Dragon, Mr. Lee to his Sifu master.
"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable."
In actual fact, God is not a divine being apart from man. He is neither male nor female. He is both everything and nothing. For God is both the lover and the beloved. When the congregation is in prayer together, God is there. When one person alone faces temptation, God is there. When no one is in the forest, only God hears the tree fall. I cannot say it more succinctly, but these words are inspired by Bruce Lee's thoughts on God, selflessness and love.
