“…have never inhaled the perfume of real existence at all.”
“Until my God guided me and showed me his proof.”
“Every simple reality is, by virtue of its unity, all things.”
“The soul is corporeal in its origination and spiritual [or incorporeal] in its survival.”
“Knowledge is the mode of the existence of something that is disengaged from matter.”
“Knowledge of self is nothing but the self itself.”
“The reality of every thing is its existence”
“How does then knowledge become clear by anything other than itself?”
