Anyone who has probed the inner life




.





Anyone who has probed the inner life, 
who has sat in silence long enough to experience 
the stillness of the mind behind its apparent noise,
is faced with a mystery. 

Apart from all the outer attractions of life in the world, 
there exists at the center of human consciousness 
something quite satisfying and beautiful in itself,
a beauty without features. 

The mystery is not so much that these two dimensions exist - 
an outer world and the mystery of the inner world -
but that we are suspended between them, 
as a space in which both worlds meet . . . 
as if the human being is the meeting point, 
the threshold between two worlds.







~ Kabir Helmisnski, 
The Knowing Heart
