He sees a blazing core of oneness

He sees neither distinction nor separateness

He sees a unity that is perfect and compelling

 

And it is always being born

Always renewed

Always itself and only itself

 

But can you understand this?

Can you match it with a suitable expression?

You can’t

The auroral darkness is itself and nothing less

And so cannot be spoken
