Even though I tried in a previous post to do as Carlos had requested,
you're right -- it's tough to squeeze infinity into a finite form
whether, a single paragraph or as Guru Nanak Dev Ji said so beautifully
in Jap Ji Sahib, even if one had oceans of ink with which to write!
I think your post highlights something that we lose sight of too often,
and that is the limitations of language, whether academic or poetic, to
express the spiritual. In a sense, it becomes ultimately all metaphor.
To the fundamentalistically-inclined, my statement becomes translated
as, "then you're saying it's not true, just metaphor." My experience is
that when we sense the limits of language and embrace the power of
metaphor that the reality of Divine power and presence can be much
better expressed, and the individual empowered to experience that power
and presence.
By the way, I like your signature quote from Sai Baba: Help ALL and
Hurt None.
