In shallow men the fish of the little thoughts cause much commotion. In oceanic minds the whales of the inspiration make hardly a ruffle.

—Quoted in ‘An Autobiography of a Yogi’

He who, meditating with pure mind, becomes
absorbed in the Atman—
Inexpressible in words is the bliss of his heart.

—Upanishads

The Lord is great. His place is high.
And higher even is his name.
Nanak says: One only knows his greatness
When raised to His heights,
By falling under the glance
Of His all-compassionate grace.

—Guru Nanak

A fire-worshiping Magian was asked why he did not become a Muslim.
He answered:
“If you mean that I should be as good a man as Bayazid, I lack the courage. If however, you mean that I should be as bad a man as you, I would detest it.”

—Quoted in ‘The Way of the Sufi’ (Idries Shah)
