By God, I feel so much love that it seems as though the skies would be rent asunder, the stars fall and the mountains move away if I burdened them with it: such is my experience of love.

Know my brothers, that the Real—transcendent & most high—is pure being, and that being has no shape or limit. Despite this, it appears and reveals itself through both shape and limit, though its intrinsic shaplessness and limitlessness does not change

Republic 509A6-10—And so, in the case of things that are known, we should say that not only their being known is present to them owing to the Good, but that their existence and essence is present to them owing to the Good as well, even though the Good is not essence itself,

al-Futuḥāt al-Makkiyya: [t]he intellects indeed have a limit at which they reach a standstill insofar as they are reflective (min ḥaythu huwa mutafakkir), but not insofar as they are receptive (qābil).

Ibn Sīnā: The wisdom of the Peripatetics is a purely discursive (bahthiyya) one, but, in such issues, the truth is established through combining discourse (bahth) and theoretical inquiry (nazar) with unveiling (kashf) and tasting (dhawq). And the wisdom which includes all of

Ghazali — Knowledge is above faith, and tasting is above knowledge because tasting is finding, but knowing is a drawing of analogies, and having faith is a mere acceptance through imitation

An excerpt in which Leibniz responds to an argument that God is not free.

[Josh Watson @JoshuaLWatson]

...the supreme reward of the Divine Law is the law itself, namely, to know God and to love him in true freedom with all our heart and mind. The penalty it imposes is the deprivation of these things and bondage to the flesh, that is, an inconstant and irresolute spirit. ~Spinoza

We clearly understand how far they stray from the true valuation of virtue, who expect to be honoured by God with the greatest rewards for their virtue and best actions...as if virtue itself, and the service of God, were not happiness itself, and the greatest freedom.

(Spinoza)

Why I say truly, as long as you do works for the sake of heaven or God or eternal bliss, from with-out, you are at fault. It may pass muster, but it is not the best.

All things are returned to it as their own goal. All things desire it: Everything with mind and reason seeks to know it, everything sentient yearns to perceive it, everything lacking perception has a living and instinctive longing for it, and everything lifeless

Oh dervish! You must not put your trust in this world or this world's comfort, and you should not put your trust in the life or veracity of fortune or fame. Everything under the sphere of the moon and the stars, does not keep its original state. It will certainly change, in other

DBH: Reason abhors a dualism. Any ultimate ground of explanation must be one that unites all dimensions of being in a simpler, more conceptually parsimonious principle.

Guenon: The principal unity demands in effect that there can be no irreducible oppositions; therefore while it is true that opposition between two terms can exist in appearance and posses a relative reality at a certain level of existence, this opposition must disappear as
