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"
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore, not by book, nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries comes after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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"
Rain showers my spirit and waters my soul.
-Terri Guillemets "Terri Guillemets"
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"
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"
A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception, perfect knowledge, perfect power, and perfect bliss…Have compassion towards all living beings. Hatred leads to destruction. Respect for all living beings is non-violence…
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
No work stains an individual who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwavad Gita 5.7"
Every one of us has in him a continent of undiscovered character. Blessed is he who acts as Columbus to his own soul.
