Sri Ramakrishna (Thoughts of Peace and Holiness)

God is both the absolute and eternal Brahman as well as the Father of the universe. But the Brahman, who is pure Existence-
Consciousness-Bliss, is beyond our comprehension like a vast shore-less ocean in which we only struggle and sink. But when we enter into the spirit of the sportive Personal God [as Father or Mother of the universe], we easily obtain peace like the sinking man on being gently carried ashore.
