Sri Krishna Prem

 “All that has here been written, all that can be written, is but a web of words, a ladder by whose help we seek to scale the ramparts of Eternity. Viewed by the eye of Wisdom all this clash of world with world, the Sparks, which fly from the Eternal Anvil, are but a vast phantasmagoria. Nothing is out breathed nor anything descends to rise again. All are the visions of the Eternal Mind; the changing finite centers that are us ourselves being but the countless points of view within that mighty whole, “for there is naught in all the world that is not He.”

Wu Hsin

A bubble on the ocean burst, it returns to the ocean. This is the death of the imagined self returning to the source. So why live in and defend a temporary bubble when your nature is vastness?

Joseph P. Kauffman

“You are just as connected to the Universe as a finger is to a hand, or as a branch is to a tree. The entire cosmos is expressing itself through your being.”

 "Step outside the circle of time and into the circle of love."

Wilhelm Reich

“I know that what you call 'God' really exists, but not in the form you think; God is primal cosmic energy, the love in your body, your integrity, and your perception of the nature in you and outside of you.”

Taittiriya Upanishad.

He energised conscious-force (in the austerity of thought) and came to the knowledge that Matter is the Brahman. For from Matter all existences are born; born, by Matter they increase and enter into Matter in their passing hence. Then he went to Varuna, his father, and said, “Lord, teach me of the Brahman.” But he said to him: “Energise (again) the conscious-energy in thee; for the Energy is Brahman.”

Sri Aurobindo

THE AFFIRMATION of a divine life upon earth and an

mmortal sense in mortal existence can have no base unless we recognise not only eternal Spirit as the inhabitant of this bodily mansion, the wearer of this mutable robe, but accept Matter of which it is made, as a fit and noble material out of which He weaves constantly His garbs, builds recurrently the unending series of His mansions

The Divinity Of Life by Swami Tathagatananda

The Hindu mind is singularly dominated by one paramount conception: the divinity of life. Regarding the creation of the universe, Hindu tradition, based on the experiences of illumined mystics, asserts with deep conviction that God is the supreme creator of every thing and every being. The Reality within and the Reality without are identical. There is complete harmony between the individual and the universe, the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Rupert Spira

To say 'I am God' does indeed sound arrogant. It feels like blasphemy.

But in fact, blasphemy is not to say 'I am God'. Really blasphemous is to say 'I am a person'. Because in saying 'I am a person', I'm saying that I am a being with my own independent existence. I'm saying that my Being is separate from God's Being. And if my Being is separate from God's Being, then God's Being must be limited. In other words, to say 'I am a person' is to deny the (omni) presence of God. That is blasphemy. If we are setting ourselves up as a separate, temporary, finite being, we are denying the infinite Being. That's why it's not arrogant to say 'I am God.' To say 'I am a person' - that is arrogant.

Bowl of Saki,, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Even to utter the name of God is a blessing that can fill the soul with light and joy and happiness as nothing else can do.
