Attending to Attar, Day 68
Knowledge is beyond your understanding. It is truthful and pure. It has no animosity. It does not suffer misery. It is the ember in darkness. It is the expanse of the realm within. Seek knowledge with zeal. Do not falter in your quest to know. But do not be sorrowful in not knowing. Do not regret. Do not rue. You are adrift with worldly learning. Knowledge escapes you. You are lost in the brambles of understanding. Step out from the thorns of ignorance back onto the path. Some thorns gouge deep. The path will heal your wounds. Although you might be content in the world, you are lost. You do not know. The realm within is knowledge. Seek knowledge and let the mystery unfold. Though the lamentations of the world rain upon you, they will evaporate when you stop to witness your own follies. To witness is to awaken. To awaken is to be aware. When awareness is awakened, knowledge descends upon you. The ways of the world keep you from knowing, but the realm within is greater than any offered by the world. One pure breath from within and you will know the truth. But tell no one. There are no words to say what cannot be said.
