Mystical Union with the Divine

John 17:21-23

“That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.”

Song of Songs 2:16

“My lover is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills.”

Rumi Masnavi I

“I died as mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was human. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Next time I shall die as human to soar with angels blest; but even from angelhood I must pass on.”

Bhagavad Gita 9:29-30

“I am equally disposed to all beings. There is neither friend nor enemy for me. But those who worship me with all their heart come to me, and I come to them. The devotee who always thinks of Me and worships Me with all devotion attains eternal association with Me.”

Upanishads (Aham Brahmasmi)

“'That thou art.' When the individual self realizes its identity with Brahman, the cosmic consciousness, the illusion of separation dissolves, and true liberation is attained.”

Guru Granth Sahib p.685

“In union with my Beloved, I am absorbed and forgotten. I am lost in the infinite expanse of God. Where is the lover and where is the beloved? We are merged as one.”
