"What we look for beyond seeing And call the unseen, Listen for beyond hearing And call the unheard, Grasp for beyond reaching And call the withheld, Merge beyond understanding In a oneness Which does not merely rise and give light, Does not merely set and leave darkness, But forever sends forth a succession of living things as mysterious As the unbegotten existence to which they return. That is why men have called them empty phenomena, Meaningless images, In a mirage With no face to meet, No back to follow. Yet one who is anciently aware of existence Is master of every moment, Feels no break since time beyond time In the way life flows."
