Divine Quote by Ramakrishna
“Sunlight is one and the same wherever it falls; but only a bright surface like that of water, or of a mirror reflects it fully. So is the light Divine. It falls equally and impartially on all hearts, but the pure and pious hearts of holy men receive and reflect that light well.”

![“As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as [the] brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun's brightness, though immensely less in degree.” quote by Jonathan Edwards](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9e3/jonathan-edwards-770_beam_as-god-delights-in-his-own-beauty-he-mus_393914.jpg)
