Veil

The consciousness of man
is a veil concealing the reality of God
in the state of non-manifestation.
We are ourselves the veil covering God's reality.
-Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

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.
-Yogananda

One has to lift the veil gradually and methodically
for one has to be able to enlarge experience gradually.
-Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

Lift the veil that obscures the heart and there
you will find what you are looking for.
-Kabir

The only veil that separates this world from the other world
is our mind.
-Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

You are standing apart from any veil.
-Hazin Lahiji

Only because of the intensity of His manifestation is He veiled,
and only because of the sublimity of His Light
is He hidden from view.
-Ibn Ata'Illah
