Spiritual Rebirth / Initiation

John 3:3-7

“Jesus answered, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.' Nicodemus asked, 'How can someone be born when they are old?' Jesus answered, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'”

Ezekiel 36:26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees.”

Quran 39:54

“Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful. And return to your Lord and submit to Him.'”

Bhagavad Gita 4:35

“Having obtained real knowledge from a self-realized soul, you will never fall again into such illusion, for by this knowledge you will see that all living beings are but extensions of the Supreme, or in other words, that they are all part and parcel of the Lord.”
