Eknath Easwaran: "One way of representing God is with a holy hammer in his pocket. When he finds we are being irresponsible, when he sees us going in the wrong direction, he takes out this little hammer and gives us a gentle rap on the knuckles.

God is the realest thing there is. The problem is too many people turned God into an image of themselves. Or into an image of their false selves, to be accurate.
