THOU TRINITY BEYOND BEING, DIRECT US TO THE HEIGHT OF MYSTICAL REVELATION,
SUBLIME BEYOND ALL THOUGHT AND LIGHT; WHEREIN THE SIMPLE, ABSOLUTE AND
IMMUTABLE MYSTERIES OF DIVINE TRUTH ARE HIDDEN IN THE TRANSLUCENT DARKNESS
OF THAT SILENCE WHICH REVEALETH IN SECRET. FOR THIS DARKNESS, THOUGH OF
DEEPEST OBSCURITY, IS YET RADIANTLY CLEAR, AND, THOUGH BEYOND TOUCH AND
SIGHT, IT OVERFILLS OUR UNSEEING MINDS WITH SPLENDORS OF TRANSCENDENT
BEAUTY.
THIS IS MY PRAYER. AS YOU , BELOVED TIMOTHY, EXERTING YOURSELF SINCERELY IN
MYSTICAL CONTEMPLATION, QUIT THE SENSES, THE WORKINGS OF THE INTELLECT, AND
ALL THAT MAY BE SENSED AND KNOWN, AND ALL THAT IS NOT AND IS. FOR BY THIS YOU
MAY UNKNOWINGLY ATTAIN, IN AS FAR AS IT IS POSSIBLE, TO THE ONENESS OF HIM WHO
IS BEYOND ALL BEING AND KNOWLEDGE. THUS THROUGH INDOMITABLE, ABSOLUTE AND
PURE DETACHMENT OF YOUR SELF FROM ALL THINGS, YOU WILL BE LIFTED UP TO THAT
RADIANCE OF THE DIVINE DARKNESS WHICH IS BEYOND BEING, SURPASSING ALL AND
FREE FROM ALL.
Man up to now has lived in a very schizophrenic way. The reason why he has become divided is not
very difficult to understand. For centuries he has been told that the world consists not of one world
but of two worlds: the world of matter and the world of the spirit. This is absolute nonsense.
The world consists only of one truth. Of course, that truth has two aspects to it, but those aspects
are indivisible. The outer aspect appears as matter and the inner as spirit. It is lie a center and
its circumference. This division has penetrated human mind in a thousand and one ways. It has
become the separation between the body and the soul. It has become the separation between thelower and the higher. It has become the separation between the sin and the virtue. It has become
the separation between the East and the West.
Man stands today so fragmented, so divided, that it is almost a miracle how we are managing to keep
ourselves together. The whole energy is exhausted in just keeping ourselves together, because we
are constantly falling apart.
The greatest need of the day it to get beyond this schizophrenia, to get beyond all divisions, to reach
to the ”one” which is neither this nor that, which is neither East nor West, which is neither man nor
woman. That ”one” has been called by the mystics God, truth, MOKSHA, NIRVANA, the absolute,
Dhamma, Logos, Tao – different names but pointing to the same one reality. It was possible up to
now somehow to go on living in a schizophrenic way, but now it is no longer possible.
We have come to a point where the decision has to be made. If we want to exist we have to create
a synthesis, or rather a transcendence, of all dualities. If we don’t want to exist then there is no
problem. If we want to commit a global suicide, then of course all problems are solved – but I don’t
think anybody wants or desires a global suicide.
Man has achieved much in spite of all kinds of madness. Man has reached many peaks: religious,
aesthetic, poetic, musical. And all this has happened in spite of all kinds of madness that we go
on supporting, nourishing, because the vested interests don’t want you to be united and one; the
vested interests want you to remain divided.
