If you don't realize the source
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao
you can deal with whatever life brings,
and then, when death comes, you are ready.
- Lao Tzu, tr. by Stephen Mitchell, quoted on p. 297 in
After the Ecstasy, the Laundry: How the Heart Grows Wise on the Spiritual Path

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,

- Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

Perceive that you are not yet begotten, that you are in the womb, that you are young, that you are old, that you have died, that you are in the world beyond the grave. Grasp in your mind all this at once, all times and places, expanding it to all qualities and magnitudes together, and you can begin to see the play of the Divine.
- Hermes Trismegistus, quoted on p. 284 in After the Ecstasy, the Laundry: How the Heart Grows Wise on the Spiritual Path
