“It is beyond intellectual knowing and cannot be grasped by the ordinary mind. When we awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and never has been, one realizes that one is everything – mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself. There is no longer a division between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation. There is nothing apart from oneself and therefore nothing to fear. Realizing this results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself but, on the contrary, as one’s own body.”
~ Bruce Lee

“If there is anything besides the Self, there is reason to fear. The ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists, so there is no second and no fear.”
~ Ramana Maharshi

“My mind fell into that vast expanse of Consciousness. Touching one drop of it, I melted away and became one with the Absolute. And now I know that nothing is different from me.”
~ Shankara

“I cannot but see you as myself. It is in the very nature of love to see no difference.”
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

„When you really love someone, there’s no longer an ‘I’ or an ‘other’.”
~ Jean Klein

“Love is the recognition of our shared being.
Love is the experience that others are not others.
The Awareness with which all people and animals are aware of anything is the very same Awareness with which you are aware of these words right now. Treat people and animals as such, that is, as your very own self.”
~ Rupert Spira

“Ultimately, of course, there is no other, and you are always meeting yourself.
To love is to recognize yourself in another.
What you do to others, you do to yourself.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

“You and I; We are one. I cannot hurt you without hurting myself.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi

“The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings.
What seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this One, produced by a deception.
Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world.”
~ Erwin Schrödinger

“There is only one of us. One consciousness manifesting into different forms.”
~ Ram Dass

“We are One. There is only one of us. Our name is Consciousness.
Upon discovering truth, the natural love one has for oneself expands until it encompasses the whole world.
You are not alone as a person, as an individual. You are alone as the entire universe, as everything.”
~ Mooji

“Even if I am with a million people, I am always alone. I do not see people as people. I see them as myself.”
~ Sadhguru

“The one who knows himself will know what it is to be animals, plants, rocks, everything that exists. If you miss realisation of your own Self, you have not known anything.”
~ Papaji

“There is nothing that is not you.
You are me and I am you. Isn’t it obvious that we inter-are? You cultivate the flower in yourself so that I will be beautiful. I transform the garbage in myself so that you do not have to suffer. I support you, you support me.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“I am bigger than what I do, bigger than my body. I am everything and everyone. I am no longer a fragment of the universe. I am the universe.”
~ Jim Carrey

“As you love your own body, so regard everyone as equal to your own body. Call it a bird, an insect, an animal or a man, call it by any name you please, one serves one’s own Self in every one of them.”
~ Anandamayi Ma

“I can never think of myself anymore as exclusively in this body; I feel that I am present in all bodies. It is not imagination; it is Self-realization.”
~ Paramahansa Yogananda

“You are the Self, that perfect immutable Self. Nothing else exists. Nothing else ever existed. Nothing else will ever exist. There is only one Self and you are That. Rejoice!”
~ Robert Adams
