within this vessel

 

.

A person is neither a thing nor a process but an opening through which the Absolute can manifest. 

—Martin Heidegger

Love Expands

.

Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it is the Creator:

Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars.

The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within;

And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells up.

Kabir says: “Listen to me, my Friend!

My Beloved Lord is within.

 

—Kabir

.

Love says, 'I am everything.'

Wisdom says, 'I am nothing.'

Between these two my life flows.


—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
