The soul which is free from the defect of karma gets to the highest point of the universe, knows all and perceives all, and obtains the transcendental bliss everlasting.

-Scriptures "Kundakunda, Pancastikaya 170"

The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.

-A Spiritual Leader "St. John of the Cross"

True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God.

-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"

When an exalted soul realises that all sentient beings are one in relation to the Supreme – that is, that all beings are the minute parts of the One – how shall he have any more delusion and what grief will come to him?

-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad"

For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.20"

He who knows his soul knows this truth: “I am beyond everything finite; I now see that the Spirit, alone in a space with its ever-new joy, has expressed itself as the vast body of nature…I am the wisdom and power that sustain all creation.”

-A Spiritual Leader "Paramhansa Yogananda"

One who identifies himself with his soul regards bodily transmigration of his soul at death fearlessly, like changing one cloth for another.

-Scriptures "Pujyapada, Samadhishataka 77"

The soul dwelling within each one of us is the most powerful energy of the universe. And this soul is only the supreme power. Now despite knowing and understanding all this, if we still visit temples, mosques and religious places... then does it show anything other than distrust on our own soul?

-Deep Trivedi

When salt mixes with water, it takes the form of water. In the same way samadhi or trance means the mind merging with the cosmic soul or God.

- Upanishads "Saubhagya Lakshmi Upanishad"

Like the waves in great rivers, there is no turning back of that which has previously been done…The soul is bound with the fetters made of the fruit of good and evil.

- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad 4.2"
