I WAS NOT aware of the moment when I first crossed the threshold of this life. What was the power that made me open out into this vast mystery like a bud in the forest at midnight! When in the morning I looked upon the light I felt in a moment that I was no stranger in this world, that the inscrutable without name and form had taken me in its arms in the form of my own mother. Even so, in death the same unknown will appear as ever known to me. And because I love this life, I know I shall love death as well. The child Cries out when from the right breast the mother takes it away, in the very next moment to find in the left one its consolation.
I.105. jo disai, so to hai nahin THAT WHICH you see is not: and for that which is, you have no words. Unless you see, your believe not: what is told you you cannot accept. He who is discerning knows by the word; and the ignorant stands gaping. Some contemplate the Formless, and others meditate on form: but the wise man knows that Brahma is beyond both. That beauty of His is not seen of the eye: that metre of His is not heard of the ear. Kabir says: 'He who has found both love and renunciation never descends to death.'
