“Forgetfulness of self is remembrance of God.”

I never saw any lamp shining more brilliantly than the lamp of silence.

Moses desired to see God; I do not desire to see God;He desires to see me

All this talk and turmoil and noise and movement and desire is outside of the veil; within the veil is silence and calm and rest.

I desire not to desire, for my will is without value, since I am ignorant in any case. Therefore choose Thou for me what thou knowest to be best and do not put my perdition in what my autonomy and free choice prefer.

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought.

All Religions are vehicles and a path to God’s Divine Presence.

The thing we tell of can never be found be seeking, yet only seekers find it.

Gaiety is forgetfulness of the self, melancholy is memory of the self: in that state the soul feels all the power of its roots, nothing distracts it from its profound homeland and the look that it casts upon the outer world is gently dismayed.

Memory only becomes interesting through its struggle with forgetfulness.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come.
