Mystical Union with the Divine
The experiential realization of non-dual consciousness with the transcendent. Mystical union represents the ultimate goal of spiritual seeking and the fulfillment of the soul.
“The mystic passes through stations of knowledge and states of consciousness, ultimately experiencing fana (annihilation in God) and baqa (subsistence in God).”
“In mystical union, the kabbalist unites with the divine name; the boundaries of separate selfhood dissolve in the infinite light.”
“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him.”
“Tat tvam asi (Thou art that) - the ultimate realization is the identity of Atman (the soul) with Brahman (the divine reality).”
“The direct recognition of the empty, luminous nature of mind is the union of wisdom and compassion, leading to enlightenment.”
“In sahaj (effortless grace), the soul is absorbed in divine consciousness, experiencing eternal bliss and union with the divine Naam.”
“When you know yourself, you will know the Father; the kingdom of God is within, accessible through gnosis (direct knowledge).”
“The liberated soul (kevalin) achieves omniscience and infinite bliss, dwelling in perfect isolation at the summit of the universe.”
