"You will say Christ saith this, and the apostles say this,
but what canst thou say?
Art thou a child of Light and hast thou walked in the Light,
and what thou speakest is it inwardly from God?"
-George Fox
"If I adore you out of fear of Hell,
Burn me in Hell;
If I adore you out of desire for Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.
But if I adore you for Yourself alone,
Do not deny to me Your eternal beauty."
-Rabia al Basri
"If the light of a thousand suns
suddenly burst upon the horizon
that would be like the splendor
of the Exalted One."
-the Bhagavad Gita, 11:12
