"Shakti: A Spiritual Experience" by Lizelle Reymond (got cut off in the Subject line)
This first one is found in the introduction and is actually by Shri Anirvan
"After the absorption of all knowledge, the psychic being must try to rediscover the naivete of a child. The crowning achievement of spiritual life is the look of wonder in the 'child' who sees the vast universe for the first time, and is not offended by anything because everything is integrated into the Mother. This means to restore individual consciousness to its original simplicity with the whole mass of experiences in the background."
Page 11, on incarnations, prophets, initiates and englightened ones:
"They have known or they know oneness, and they share with us what they are able to express of their bliss. Their accounts and their teachings are almost identical even though their disciples, after having analyzed the sensations resulting from their own experience, give mental explanations that became dogmas."
Page 14
"Everything is a play of converging densities. Matter can be so tenuous that it becomes invisible and spirit can be so dense that it becomes perceptible."
Page 17
"A master had his disciple meditate on a buffalo in a cell next to him. After six months of meditation the guru called his disciple, who quickly got up to answer him. Six months later the disciple did the same again and the master sent him back to his meditation; but a year later, when the master called, the disciple began to weep: 'Oh master, I would very much like to come, but the door is too narrow, my horns will never get through!'"
Well, I am not done reading the book yet, but I liked those quotes and wanted to share them.
