“Know you all that if I am the Highest of the High my role demands that I strip you of your possessions and wants, consume all your desires and make you desireless rather than satisfy your desires. Sadhus, saints, yogis and walis can give you what you want; but I take away your wants and free you from attachments and liberate you from the bondage of ignorance. I am the one to take, not the one to give, what you want as you want.”

Meher Baba (1894–1969) Indian mystic

I know your heart is full of doubt,
You don't need to be without
These loving arms.I'll hold you through your darkest hour

So I can reach you.
Oh my love, don't give up on us.”

Sarah McLachlan (1968) Canadian musician, singer, and songwriter
