નીકળે હરીફ બની!

આ તે કેવી હાસ્યાસ્પદ મગરૂરી

વિજ્ઞાન માંડે અનંત સાથે બરોબરી!

શોધી રહેવું એને થવા સર્વોપરી 

અજ્ઞાત અણસમજ સમ થવા પાત્ર હાંસી.

બધી જ ખોજ ને ખોજ વિધી

જંગ જાણે જશ લેવા નીકળે હરીફ બની!

હિંમત જુઓ એ સંશોધન આધીન,

માને એના થકી વસે, શ્વસે સમસ્ત સમષ્ટિ!

એક પાંખ પ્રકાર જરૂર, અલાયદી,

મહામૂલી પણ મૂળે અનંતની જ પેદાયશી.

ભૂલ નહીં વિજ્ઞાન, બક્ષે મહસ તને નીતનવીન

તું પણ એક સર્જન માત્ર. સમયસૂચક, સમયાધીન.

પરમેશ્વરી સર્વોપરી...

The supreme Truth of things … cannot be arrived at by an outward inquiry through the senses or by any scrutiny or research that founds itself on outsides and surfaces or by speculation based on the uncertain data of an indirect means of knowledge. It must come by a direct vision or contact of the consciousness with the soul and body of the Truth itself or through a knowledge by identity, by the self that becomes one with the self of things and with their truth of power and their truth of essence.”

“Spiritual truth is a truth of the spirit, not a truth of the intellect, not a mathematical theorem or a logical formula. It is a truth of the Infinite, one in an infinite diversity, and it can assume an infinite variety of aspects and formations: in the spiritual evolution it is inevitable that there should be a many-sided passage and reaching to the one Truth, a many-sided seizing of it; this many-sidedness is the sign of the approach of the soul to a living reality, not to an abstraction or a constructed figure of things that can be petrifified into dead or stony formula. The hard logical and intellectual notion of truth as a single idea which all must accept, one idea or system of ideas defeating all other ideas or systems, or a single limited fact or single formula of facts which all must recognise, is an illegitimate transference from the limited truth of the physical field to the much more complex and plastic field of life and mind and spirit.”
