Books I’m reading at present:

The Ethics of Aristotle

The Bhagavad Gita

the Upanishads

The Varieties of Religious Experience, William James

Concentration & Meditation Swami Paramananda

Tao Te Ching, Lao Tsu

The Complete Confucius 

By far the most influential of these is the Bhagavad Gita. It is a beautiful and profound text. Ghandi kept a copy with him until his death.

This is not a direct quote, but an edited one: 

I am pure consciousness, the underlying essence of all elements and beings.

I am the innate nature of everything.

In pure water I am the sweet taste.

In the sun and moon I am the radiance.

In the very center of human beings I live as virility and courage.

I am the delicate scent, the sweet fragrance of the earth.

I am the brilliance in both fire and sun, and I am the light of Divinity in all beings.

I am the subtle spirit in spiritual practices that gives them their existence – the love in the devotee, the simple austerity in the ascetic, the sweet sense of charity in the giver.
