Something like:
"There is no dharma outside the heart, or anything to find inside.
So what are you looking for??"
-Rinzai Gigen / Linji Yixuan, died in 866
Better known for "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road..."

Asante, your quote is wonderful,
sounds exactly like something from ZhuangZhi,
With the vulgarity and ordinary aspects of common life being the object of enlightenment.

God is a verb. Not a personal pronoun.
God is something you do. Not someone to talk to.

You misunderstand that one. That part of you which is God can have elaborate conversation with the part of you that personifies this organism.

I really like the lyrics from the Dimmu Borgir song I Am Soverign:
"What we really seek is not here
But on the other side of fear"

Dimmu Borgir sings a lot about the other side. From Interdimensional Summit:
When the dust settles on the tavern
Is when we're liberated from illusion
Taking our first and final breath
Realizing life is always after death

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.

Just posting to see future quotes, sorry nothing comes to mind right now
Really my only exposure to spirituality was reading siddhartha by herman hesse like 10 times in my early 20's. Now a friend from work showed me some matt kahn videos and its reignited my interest in it. Any other good spiritual lecture givers you'd recommend?

"I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For all creation waits in eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God." Romans 8:18-19

Inner Worlds Outer Worlds;
"When the Buddha was asked: 'What are you?'
He said simply: 'I am awake.'
What does this mean, to be awake?
The Buddha does not say exactly, because the flowering of each individual life is different.
But he does say one thing; 'It is the end of suffering.'"
Inner Worlds Outer Worlds;
"Like a dog chasing it's tail, it is only the ego identity that wants to find an answer, a purpose.
The truth of who you are does not need an answer, because all questions are created by the egoic mind.
You are not your mind.
The truth lies not in more answers but in less questions."
Inner Worlds Outer Worlds;
"In the Buddhist tradition the bodhisattva is a person with an awakened Buddha nature.
A bodhisattva vows to help to awaken every being in the universe, realizing that there is only one consciousness.
To awaken ones true self, one must awaken all beings.
There are innumerable sentient beings in the universe, I vow to help them all to awaken.
My imperfections are inexhaustible, I vow to overcome them all.
The Dharma is unknowable, I vow to know it.
The way to awakening is unobtainable, I vow to attain it."
Meister Eckhart;
"The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love."
Luke 11:34;
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when therefore your eye is clear your whole body shall be illuminated"
Matthew 6:22;
"But the lamp of the body is the eye; therefore if your eye shall be sound, your whole body also will be illuminated."
Socrates;
"By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher."
Mark 4:10-29;
But when they were by themselves, those twelve who were with him inquired of him about that parable.
Yeshua said to them, “It has been given to you to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to outsiders, everything has been in parables,”
“So that seeing they shall see and not see, and hearing they shall hear and they shall not understand, unless perhaps they shall be converted and their sins shall be forgiven them.”
He said to them, “Do you not know this parable? How shall you know all the parables?”
“The sower, who sowed, sowed the word.”
“But these upon the side of the road are those who have the word sown in them, and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes the word away that was sown in their hearts.”
“And those that were sown upon the rock are those who when they have heard the word immediately receive it with joy.”
“And they have no root in themselves, but they abide for a while, and when there is distress or persecution because of the word, they are soon subverted.”
“And those sown among the thorns are those who have heard the word,”
“And the cares of this world and the seductiveness of wealth and other desires are entering in and choking the word and it becomes unfruitful.”
“And they that were sown in the good ground are those who hear the word and receive and yield fruit, thirtyfold, sixtyfold and an hundred fold.”
And he said to them, “Does one bring a lamp to be put under a basket or under a bed? Should it not be put on a lampstand?”
“For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, and nothing secret that will not be discovered.”
“If a man has an ear to hear, let him hear.”
And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; that measure in which you are measuring is measured to you, and it is increased to you who hear.”
For whoever has it, it shall be given to him; and whoever does not have it, from him shall be taken even that which he has.
And he said, “Thus is the Kingdom of God like a man who cast seed in the ground.”
“And he shall sleep and arise by night and by day and the seed grows and lengthens while he is unaware.”
“For the earth produces fruit itself; first shall be the blade and afterward the ear, then finally the full wheat in the ear.”
“But whenever the fruit ripens, immediately the sickle is brought because the harvest has arrived.”
John 18:36;
"Yeshua said to him, “My Kingdom is not from this world; if my Kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting that I would not have been delivered up to the Judeans, but now my Kingdom is not from here.”"
Luke 17:20-21;
"And when some of the Pharisees asked Yeshua, “When is the Kingdom of God coming”, he answered and he said to them, “The Kingdom of God does not come with what is observed.”
“Neither do they say, 'Behold, here it is!' and 'Behold, from here to there!', for behold, the Kingdom of God is within some of you.”"
The Gospel of Thomas - 1-3;
"And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death."
Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."
Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.""
The Buddha's Way of Virtue - § XIII - THE WORLD - 174;
”Blinded are the men of this world; few there are who have eyes to see: few are the birds which escape the fowler's net; few are they who go to heaven.”
The Buddha's Way of Virtue - § XII - SELF - 164-165;
"Whoso fondly repudiates the teaching of the noble and virtuous Arahats, following false doctrine, is like the bamboo which bears fruit to its own destruction."
"Thou art brought low by the evil thou hast done thyself; by the evil thou hast left undone art thou purified. Purity and impurity are things of man's inmost self; no man can purify another."
The Buddha's Way of Virtue - § VIII - THE THOUSANDS - 104-105;
"Self-conquest is better than other victories: neither god nor demi-god, neither Mara nor Brahma, can undo the victory of such a one, who is self-controlled and always calm."
The Buddha's Way of Virtue - § VI - THE WISE MAN - 85;
"Few amongst men are they who reach the farther shore: the rest, a great multitude, stand only on the bank."
The Buddha's Way of Virtue - § II - ZEAL - 21;
"Zeal is the way to Nirvāna. Sloth is the day of death. The zealous die not: the slothful are as it were dead."
The Buddha's Way of Virtue - § I - THE TWIN TRUTHS - 19;
"If a man is a great preacher of the sacred text, but slothful and no doer of it, he is a hireling shepherd, who has no part in the flock."

Bulleh Shah;
"Yes, yes; you’ve read thousands of books but you’ve never tried to read your own self; you rush into your temples, into your mosques, but you have never tried to enter your own heart; futile are all your battles with the devil for you have never tried to fight your own desires."

The Power of a Word
A Sufi Story
There is a story told that once a Sufi was healing a child that was ill. He was repeating a few words, and then gave the child to the parents saying, “Now he will be well.”
Someone who was antagonistic to this said to him, “How can it be possible that by a few words spoken, anyone can be healed?”
From a mild Sufi an angry answer is never expected, but this time he turned to the man and said, “You understand nothing about it. You are a fool.”
The man was very much offended. His face was red. He was hot. The Sufi said, “when a word has the power to make you hot and angry, why should not a word have the power to heal?”

Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī;
"You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly."
Sri Ramana Maharshi;
"Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside."

Bhagavad Gita;
"Compose yourself in stillness, draw your attention inward and devote your mind to the Self. The wisdom you seek lies within."
