Awhaduddin Kermani

O, friend! Nobody veils you, but yourself.
In your path there is no thorn or weed, but yourself.
You said: Shall I reach the Beloved or not?
Between you and the Beloved there is nobody, but yourself.

Paramahansa Yogananda

You do not have to struggle to reach God,
but you do have to struggle to tear away
the self-created veil that hides him from you.

Ibn Arabi

It is He who is revealed in every face, sought in every sign, gazed upon by every eye, worshipped in every object of worship, and pursued in the unseen and the visible. Not a single one of His creatures can fail to find Him in its fundamental and original nature.
