Favorite Quote(s)
“You, the Ultimate Reality, are All in All. Atheism confesses the ineffability of Your Essence. Polytheism personifies Your manifold Attributes. Monotheism witnesses the unity of Your Being. In every God-Ideal an emanation of You shines forth. The heart receives of You as much as it can contain. When the heart is supple it is capable of every form. Then Your manifestations surpass the limitations of belief.” (Pir Zia Inayat Khan)

Rumi:
“The Beloved is all in all; the lover merely veils him;
The Beloved is all that lives, the lover a dead thing.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj: “Sometimes I feel I am everything, I call that Love. Sometimes I feel I am nothing, I call that Wisdom. Between Love and Wisdom my life continuously flows.”

Long Chen Pa: “Since everything is none other than exactly as it is one may well break out in laughter.”

“In many spiritual circles, people try to eradicate their sense of self. This is a complete waste of time. The sense of self is not a problem. In fact, it’s a necessity in life. The difficulty happens when we believe that just because there is a sense of self there must also be a self.” ~ Adyashanti

"All things — all beings and all activities, no matter how ordinary—are equal expressions of the Infinite. There is no more or less Infinite, no higher or lower Infinite. Therefore, all attempts to either find or hold onto the Infinite are based in illusion. And illusion itself is none other than the Infinite.
The Infinite uses all measures in order to awaken in all the various forms in existence. It uses birth, life, death, happiness, sorrow, clarity, and delusion in order to awaken. All of your seeking is in reality the activity of the Infinite as well. No matter how far astray or deluded you become, you can never get a single step away from the Infinite’s embrace. If you could all at once stop believing your dreaming mind and be completely still right in the midst of your present state, the Infinite would effortlessly present itself." (Adya)

"There is nothing in this robe I am wearing except Allah." Al-Bistami

Heart Sutra meditations: “Prajnaparamita is unthinkingly deep because the intrinsic purity, freedom, emptiness, openness and transparency of all material and mental structures is identical with the radiant transparency of the highest spiritual realization. The sublime purity of transcendent insight is identical with the natural, spontaneous purity of the countless configurations that present themselves as the universe in all its multidimensionality. The intrinsic purity and peacefulness of all structures of relativity and the blissful purity of total awakeness are not two separate realities. They cannot be divided into different levels or dimensions, nor broken down into different categories, nor cut apart in any way by discursive analysis. The intrinsic purity, or unthinkable depth, of all appearing forms is the direct expression of the unthinkable depth of the highest fruition of transcendent insight."

"With unfailing kindness, your life always presents what you need to learn." --Charlotte Joko Beck

“Go ahead, light your candles and burn your incense and ring your bells and call out to God, but watch out, because God will come and He will put you on His anvil and fire up His forge and beat you and beat you until He turns brass into pure gold.” (Sant Keshavadas)

"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
(Mozart)
