જ્ઞાનનો પણ ભાર હોય
જો પ્રદર્શન સ્વભાવ હોય
તો સંગ્રહ જ ઊપાય હોય
દેખાડો આંજતો પ્રચાર હોય!
સંગ્રાહકને પણ તાણ હોય
જો પ્રદર્શન જ પ્રમાણ હોય
તો જ્ઞાની શાહુકાર હોય
હુંકાર જ આધાર હોય...
જ્ઞાન સ્વયંભૂ પ્રવાહ હોય
જો સ્વરૂપ ભીતરે ગરકાવ હોય
તો સ્થૂળ-સૂક્ષ્મમાં તાલ હોય
સ્વમાં સમગ્રનો વાસ હોય...
સંગ્રહને ક્યાં અવકાશ હોય?
જો ઊર્ધ્વે જાગૃત જોડાણ હોય
તો સહજ સમર્પિત વહાવ હોય
અસ્ખલિત અવતરણે વિસ્તાર હોય...
જય હો પ્રભુ...
સાદર...

Our mortal vision peers with ignorant eyes;
It has no gaze on the deep heart of things.
Our knowledge walks leaning on Error's staff,
A worshipper of false dogmas and false gods,
Or fanatic of a fierce intolerant creed
Or a seeker doubting every truth he finds,
A sceptic facing Light with adamant No
Or chilling the heart with dry ironic smile,
A cynic stamping out the god in man;
A darkness wallows in the paths of Time
Or lifts its giant head to blot the stars;
It makes a cloud of the interpreting mind
And intercepts the oracles of the Sun.
Yet Light is there; it stands at Nature's doors:
It holds a torch to lead the traveller in.
It waits to be kindled in our secret cells;
It is a star lighting an ignorant sea,
A lamp upon our poop piercing the night.
As knowledge grows Light flames up from within:
It is a shining warrior in the mind,
An eagle of dreams in the divining heart,
An armour in the fight, a bow of God.
It has no gaze on the deep heart of things.

BOOK X: The Book of the Double Twilight 626
By Knowledge we mean in yoga not thought or ideas about spiritual things but psychic understanding from within and spiritual illumination from above. SA
The knowledge that seems to come to you from outside is only an occasion for bringing out the knowledge that is within you. Let all circumstances, all happenings in life be occasions, constantly renewed, for learning always more and more. TM
True knowledge is precisely knowledge by identity, and wisdom is the state one attains when one is in this true knowledge. TM
