“That sea of bliss in which the seeker drowns himself,
And that wonderful cause which forever makes it disappear,
The ignorance which makes the physical world appear,
Is the divine and perennial concept that we ourselves are Brahman.”
― Advaita in translation 8 - the Raft of Awareness or Vijnananauka by Adi Shankara

“Der Wald ertönt von tausendstimmigem Leben,
Tal aus, Tal ein ist Nebelstreif ergossen,
Doch senkt sich Himmelsklarheit in die Tiefen,
Und Zweig und Äste, frisch erquickt, entsprossen
Dem duft'gen Abgrund, wo versenkt sie schliefen;
Auch Farb' an Farbe klärt sich los vom Grunde,
Wo Blum' und Blatt von Zitterperle triefen –
Ein Paradies wird um mich her die Runde.”
― Faust, Zweiter Teil

“Analogy (qiyās al-tamthīl) and the categorical syllogism (qiyās al-shumūl) are equivalent. Certainty (yaqīn) and probability (ẓann) differ only according to the subject matter [of the premises]. If the specific subject matter is certain in one, it is certain in the other, and, if it is probable in one, it is probable in the other.”
