GOD

He is infinite love, wisdom, joy.

I reside in the hearts of all beings.
- Gita 15:15, from The Bhagavad Gita (Classics of Indian Spirituality)

Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.
- St. Augustine 

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself
a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.
The truth has shared so much of itself with me that I can no longer
think of myself as a man, a woman, an angel, or even pure soul.
Existence has become so saturated with laughter it has freed me of every
concept and image a mind could ever war with.
- Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky

Know the true nature of your Beloved.
In His loving eyes, your every thought, word, and movement,
is always, always, beautiful.
- Hafiz

Now is the time to know
That all you do is sacred.
- Hafiz

...earthly language is entirely insufficient to describe what there is of joy, happiness and liveliness contained in the inner wonders of God.
- Jacob Behmen

"Be still and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10). Never flaunting His omnipresence, the Lord is heard only in the immaculate silences.
- Paramahansa Yogananda

I wandered, searched
And then I found Him out at last-
In the silence of the mind.
He is the wonder of wonders.
He is the nectar that never satiates,
He is knowledge's End.
He is the great primal Being,
He is the sweet celestial honey
That destroys old age and death.
He is the endless primeval Light,
He is the medicine sweet
That confers immortality.
I call Him 'a Mass of Sweetness',
I call Him 'the Milk of Wisdom',
I call Him 'the Ocean of Bliss',
I call him 'the Old Man of the Upanishads',
I call Him 'the Silent Sleeper in the Sea'.
- Sri Swami Sivananda
