from Walled Gardens
How can one describe God?
What wins the argument?
Speech is limited to comparison,
Silence is sworn to dereliction,
Reason travels far to reach amazement,
Zeal arrives at self-enrichment,
Imagination cannot find the truth, and
Understanding turns to vanity.
The prophets are confused by God,
the saints are stupefied.
God is the mind’s desire
and master of the soul,
the devotee’s commitment,
the disciple’s goal,
but all of this is beyond where reason goes,
exists above existence, acts
without regard to the usual bounds:
There is no “in” or “out”, “how” or “why”.
