"The religion of the mystic is a steady progress towards unity. How does he make this progress? In two ways. In the first way he sees himself in others, in the good, in the bad, in all; and thus he expands the horizon of his vision. This study goes throughout his lifetime, and as he progresses he comes closer to the oneness of all things. And the other way of developing is to become conscious of one`s self in God, and of God in one`s self, which deepens the consciousness of our innermost being. This process takes place in two directions: outwardly by being one with all we see, and inwardly by being in touch with that one Life which is everlasting, by dissolving into it, and by being conscious of that one Spirit being the existence, the only existence."
Hazrat Inayat Khan (fra essayet "Sufi Mystiscism" i boka "The Inner Life")
"This Universe is a vibratory dream motion picture of God`s thoughts on the screen of time and space and human consciousness"
Paramahansa Yogananda
"True religion lies within oneself, in the cave of stillness, in the cave of calm intuitive wisdom, in the cave of the spiritual eye"
Paramahansa Yogananda
"The mind exists in two states: as water and as honey. The water vibrates at the least disturbance, while the honey, however disturbed, returns quickly to immobility"
Nisargadatta Maharaj
"Cherish stillness in motion, and motion in stillness" (fra en bok om qigong)
"Den fullkomne Vei er ikke vanskelig,
når du bare avstår fra å velge side.
Ikke elsk og ikke hat,
bare da ser du tingene i lysende klarhet"
"...."
"Vil du forstå tingene direkte,
må du ikke være for eller mot.
Å dras mellom sympati og antipati
er en sykdom på sinnet."
"..."
"Det fullkomne er som himmelvelvingen,
intet mangler, intet er overflødig."

"Når man stanser bevegelsen og vender tilbake til stillheten,
er stillheten også en form for bevegelse.
Om du bare blir værende i den ene av ytterlighetene,
hvordan skal du da forstå deres enhet?
Forstår man ikke tingenes enhet,
mister en kraften i begge (ytterlighetene)."
"..."
"Om øyet ikke sover,
blir drømmene borte av seg selv."
"..."
"Når vi ser alle ting med klart blikk,
vender de tilbake til sin naturlig tilstand."
"...."
"Væren er ikke-væren,
ikke-væren er væren.
Èn er alle ting,
alle ting er èn."
"..."
