As I study Eastern mysticism I see much diversity. If I were to pull out two threads that seem to run through most of it, I would identify them as awareness and love. We've been looking a lot at the Buddhist point of view here. Here is a Hindu one
"Let go of your attachment to the unreal and the real will swiftly and smoothly step into its own. Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realization that you are the source and heart of all will dawn upon you. With this will come great love which is not choice or predilection, or attachment, but a power which makes all things love-worthy and loveable."
...............................
"The mind, by its very nature divides and opposes. Can there be some other mind which unites and harmonizes, which sees the whole in the part and the part as totally related to the whole?....In that mind...it becomes rather a question of love seeking expression and meeting with obstacles. The inclusive mind is love in action, battling against circumstances: initially frustrated, ultimately victorious."
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
I Am That
