Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.— William Wordsworth
— Inayat KhanThe soul is light, the mind is light,
and the body is light/light of different grades; and it is this relation which connects man with the planets and stars.
— BuddhaThus, shall you think of this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.
— Inayat KhanWhen all have been kindled, the original form will die out, and the place thereof be known no more. Verily, the form dieth, and the spirit liveth forever.
