I am the infinite ocean. When thoughts spring up, The wind freshens, and like waves A thousand worlds arise. But when the wind falls, The trader sinks with his ship. On the boundless ocean of my being Her founders, And all the worlds with him.
- Ashtavakra Gita 2:23-24
Dear soul, Love alone cuts argument short, for it alone comes to the rescue when you cry for help against disputes. Eloquence is dumbfounded by Love: it dares not wrangle; for the love fears that, if he answers back, the pearl of inner experience might fall out of his mouth.
- Rumi, "Mathnawi"
I see something of God each hour of the Twenty-four, and each moment then, In the faces of men and women I see God, and in My own face in the glass, I find letters from God dropt in the street and every One is signed by God's name.
- Walt Whitman
The human being has two states of consciousness: one in this world, the other in the next. But there is a third state between them, not unlike the world of dreams, in which we are aware of both worlds, with their sorrows and joys. When a person dies, it is only the physical body that dies; that person lives on in a nonphysical body, which carries the impressions of his past life. It is these impressions that determine his next life. In this intermediate state he makes and dissolves impressions by the light of the Self.
- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
Knowing yourself as That In which the worlds rise and fall Like waves in the ocean, Why do you run about so wretchedly?
- Ashtavakra Gita 3:3
The ways are various, but the way to Truth is only one. Those who travel on the way of Truth must keep themselves isolated.
- Abd al-Wahid bin Zaid, in Rabia the Mystic
