Paramahansa Yogananda
Spiritual Teacher, Author
"Spirit vibrated into matter; hence, both Spirit and matter exist. Matter, however, does not exist in the way that it appears to us. It exists as we see it owing to the delusive force of maya, which makes the indivisible Spirit seem finite and divisible to all appearances. Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Theologian
"If the heart is devoted to the mirage of the world, to the creature instead of the Creator, the disciple is lost... However urgently Jesus may call us, His call fails to find access to our hearts... for they have already been given to another."
Chris Gardner
Entrepreneur

Anais Nin
Writer, Diarist
