“In order to bring the realm of the spiritual and the divine within the range of perception, humanity … loses the immediate union with the divine and the immediate vision of the spiritual. Then it tries to embody in a tangible or otherwise perceptible form, to materialize what is intangible, and imperceptible. It makes symbols … and sees in them and through them the spiritual and divine substance that has no likeness and could not otherwise be seen.”

“I never saw any lamp
shining more brightly
than the lamp of silence.”

“O Thou whose Name is sweetest remedy
And whose remembrance heals our soul’s disease
With Thee each moment is Eternity
A drop from Heaven that consoles and frees.”
― Frithjof Schuon

“He is One, and number has no place in Him; He is absolute, and dependence is far removed from Him; not that One which reason and understanding can know, not that Absolute which sense and imagination can recognize. He is not multitude, nor paucity;one multiplied by one remains one. In duality is only evil and error; in singleness is never any fault.”
