If you have the idea that you are something with form, that you are limited by this body, and being within this body, you have to see through these eyes, God and the world also will appear to you as form. If you realize you are without form, that you are unlimited, that you alone exist, that you are the eye, the infinite eye, what is there to be seen apart from the infinite eye? Apart from the eye, there is nothing to be seen. There must be a seer for an object to be seen and there must be space, time, etc. But for the Self alone exists, it is both seer and seen, and above seeing or being seen.  ~ Ramana Maharishi

If you look at Einstein’s discoveries, at his general theory of relativity, for instance, you will see that he reduced things to only one equation. What people take years and years to understand, he could express in one equation. And from that one equation, he could expand and deduce the whole huge theory that explains the universe for us. This tells you something about intelligence. Another example is his equation that defines the relationship of energy and matter. It is the simplest you can find in science: E = mc2. E represents the quantity of energy, m the mass of matter, and c the speed of light.   ~ A.H. Almaas
