O Reason!

O Reason! 

How pitiful is your situation?

Reason out and doubt go together?

As soon as through reason confirms

Simultaneously, the doubt happens!

Thoughtful, logical reason you centre

In a moment, the doubt sets the presence!

Ideate and conceive and you come forward

Immediately, the doubt gets permission to enter!

Looks like you cannot live without the counter

Thus doubt by befault is in your character.

Emerge from the psyche and no opposition

Flow there harmony of every element possible...

How true! 

Thank you Lord!

Where Day and Night had wedded and were one:
It was a tract of dim and shifting rays
Parting Life's sentient flow from Thought's self-poise.
A coalition of uncertainties
There exercised uneasy government
On a ground reserved for doubt and reasoned guess,
A rendezvous of Knowledge with Ignorance

* BOOK II: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds 239

Its highest, widest seeing was a half-search,
Its mightiest acts a passage or a stage.
For not by Reason was creation made
And not by Reason can the Truth be seen
Which through the veils of thought, the screens of sense
Hardly the spirit's vision can descry

* BOOK II: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds 256

"O Death, who reasonest, I reason not,
Reason that scans and breaks, but cannot build
Or builds in vain because she doubts her work.
I am, I love, I see, I act, I will."

* BOOK IX: The Book of Eternal Night 594

Flower Name: Artabotrys hexapetalus
