In the beginning, this world was only the Self in the shape of a person. Looking around, It saw nothing other than Itself. It then said, "I am". Therefore arose the name of "I". Thus, when one is addressed they first say "This is I" and then will speak their name. Before this, It said "I" and burned all evil and is therefore, a person. They who know these things shall, in truth, burn up that which wishes to be before them. -Brhadaranyaka Upanisad.

"After enlightenment, nothing happens. All happening stops, disappears. One simply is. Not that the sun does not rise, not that the night is not full of stars, not that the flowers don't bloom anymore -- all this goes on. But nothing happens in you. All remains calm and quiet. After enlightenment, there is no biography." - Osho
People with intelligence and wisdom. People who know they are the makers of their reality. Those who are kind and passionate. People who love life and enjoy it immensely without taking it all too seriously.
I Have Learned So Much
I have learned so much from God That I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.
The Truth has shared so much of itself with me
that I can no longer call myself
a man, a woman, an angel
or even pure soul.
Love has befriended me so completely
It has turned to ash and freed me
of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.
-Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky in the book *The Gift: Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master*
