5 Quotes by Raimon Panikkar

God is so great that the greatness precludes existence.

Religion is not an experiment, it is an experience of life through which one is part of the cosmic adventure.

The concepts of physics-energy, force, mass, number-are as mysterious as the word God. But in physics, even though in many ways we do not know what physical reality is, we nevertheless devise or affirm parameters that permit us to measure regularity or to formulate possible laws in regard to the functioning of physical reality. Such an operation is not possible in regard to God. There are no adequate parameters that would permit us to speak of the “functioning” of that reality we call God.

Discourse about God is radically different from every l other discourse on every other subject because God is not an object. Were God to be spoken of as object, God would become nothing more than an idol.

Discourse about God is unique and cannot be compared to any other human language. It is irreducible to any other discourse.
