“The self really is an illusion—and realizing this is the basis of spiritual life.”

“The path of spirituality is a conscious journey of a person leading to a life imbued with humanistic values, self-realization, a profound understanding of the world, and the experience of beauty.”

“Without fear of God as a basis, nothing is possible spiritually, for the absence of fear is a lack of self-knowledge.”

“Self-realization – is an individual's full implementation of potential realization: spiritual-moral, intellectual, creative, and emotional, during the process of which it reveals and realizes its human dignity and professional abilities.”

“All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion.”

“It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all”

“Absolute faith is not the place of self-affirmation, but the place of self-negation. Life of faith is not limited to our spiritual life. What is important is how our spiritual sensitivity is applied to our relative environment.”

“As machines slip from human control they will do more than become conscious. They will become spiritual beings, whose inner life is no more limited by conscious thought than ours. Not only will they think and have emotions. They will develop the errors and illusions that go with self-awareness.”

“Self-conscious rejection of the absolute is the best way to resist God; thus illusion, the substance of life, is saved.”

“The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.”
