Clearly the more vertices I pick up the less sharp they become; I’m giving up the sharpness of … More Geometry of Spiritual Journey
This infinity that is in front of me, the infinity that shows itself to me as an indefinite extension of space and an indefinite duration of time, as here and there, as now and then!

What is that thing through which we see everything? Light. What is that thing which in principle can never be seen? Light. What is light?
