"Eternal peace belongs to the wise, who perceive Source Consciousness within themselves—within all beings, within everything. By the mind alone is Source to be realized; when multiplicity is seen as the expression of ONE." ―Katha Upanishads
"The total number of minds in the Universe is ONE. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings. This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is in a certain sense the whole.” ~Erwin Schrödinger, physicist
"You are part of the Universe; you are made of stars... We cannot take anything out of anything else. We are the mountains and rivers; we are the sun and stars. Everything inter-is..." ~Thich Nhat Hanh
"All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are nothing but the One Mind. It is like a boundless void which can't be fathomed or measured. It is only necessary to awake to the One Mind, and there is nothing whatsoever to attain. This is the real Buddha." ~Huang Po, Zen patriarch
“Never forget that the Universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and One Soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.” ~Marcus Aurelius
"Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. All things in the Universe rise and fall, while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then Return to the Source. Returning to the Source is stillness, which is the Way of Nature." ~ Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching
"Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a Source to be some God outside you. Your Source is within yourself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the Source and merge in it." ~Ramana Maharshi
“Love says 'I am everything.' Wisdom says 'I am nothing.' Between the two, my life flows. A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet." ―Nisargadatta Maharaj
"Until we realize the Unity of Life, we live in fear. For the seeker who knows not the Self, his separateness becomes fear itself. When one realizes the Self, in whom All Life is One, changeless, nameless, formless, then one fears no more." ―Taittiriya Upanishad
"The inner being, the Real Self, it draws you from within. The ego-self is different from the Source of all, the absolute. Knowing oneself is only being One Self, as there is no second existence. THIS is Self-realization." ―Ramana Maharshi
"The One Mind is the real Buddha. This pure Mind, the source of everything, shines forever and on all with the brilliance of its own perfection. Above, below and around you, all is spontaneously existing, for there is nowhere which is outside the Buddha Mind." ~Huang Po, Zen patriarch
"If you really touch one flower deeply, you touch the whole cosmos. The cosmos is neither one nor many. When you touch one, you touch many, and when you touch many, you touch one.." ~Thich Nhat Hanh
"Awakened mind is the actual state of everything. It exhibits an unceasing quality. Naturally occurring timeless awareness—utterly lucid awakened mind—is something marvelous and superb, primordially and spontaneously present. It is the treasury from which comes the universe of appearances and possibilities, whether of samsara or nirvana. Homage to that unwavering state, free of elaboration." ~ Longchenpa, Chöying Dzod
