Description
"Like the watermen that row one way and look another." – Robert Burton, 'The Anatomy of Melancholy' (1621)
"I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future and in some way involve the stars." – Jorge Luis Borges, in "The Garden of Forking Paths" (1942).
"The fact is that the truth of harmony and human brotherhood derives not from an absorbed trance but from an awakened prajñâ or wisdom; and its validity depends not on any dramatic ecstatic visions but it belongs to man’s (…) natural reason unspoilt by theologies of exclusiveness." – Ram Swarup: Ramakrishna Mission, p.13. (1986).
