Ramana Maharishi from Who am I

When the mind that is subtle goes out through the brain and the sense-organs, the gross names and forms appear; when it stays in the Heart, the names and forms disappear. Not letting the mind go out, but retaining it in the Heart is what is called ‘inwardness’ (antarmukha). Letting the mind go out of the Heart is known as ‘externalisation’ (bahirmukha). Thus, when the mind stays in the Heart, the ‘I’ which is the source of all thoughts will go, and the Self which ever exists will shine. Whatever one does, one should do without the egoity ‘I’. If one acts in that way, all will appear as of the nature of Siva.

The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley

 

Adi Shankara

Space seems broken and diverse because of the many forms in it. Remove the forms and pure space remains. So, too with the Omnipresent Self.

Swami Vivekananda

"This is the gist of all worship - to be pure and to do good to others. He who sees Siva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased, really worship Siva. And if he sees Siva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary. He who has served and helped one poor man, seeing Siva in him, without thinking of his caste or creed or race or any other thing, with him Siva is more pleased than with the man who sees him only in the temples."

3 Features

The Absolute Truth is understood in 3 features. Brahman Paramatma and Bhagavan. The Brahman is impersonal & featureless. Paramatma is God in the heart and Bhagavan is God in His own abode. Even though the substance is the same, Bhagavan is considered to be the highest.

Ibn ‘Arabi, Kitab al-Tajalliyat

Dearly beloved!

I have called you so often and you have not heard me  I have shown myself to you so often and you have not  seen me.  I have made myself fragrance so often, and you have  not smelled me.  Savorous food, and you have not tasted me.  Why can you not reach me through the object you touch  Or breathe me through sweet perfumes?  Why do you not see me? Why do you not hear me?  Why? Why? Why?”
