God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.

As pure water poured into pure water becomes the very same, so does the Self of the illumined man or woman verily become one with the Godhead.
|
To the illumined man or woman, a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same.
