India
Hindu Great Creatrix - Goddess of the Void
I am the Absolute
From me proceeded the world of substance and consciousness
The void and all phenomena
I am bliss and non-bliss
I am the entire world
I am the unknown
Below and above and around am I
Devi Upanishad
DIALOGUE WITH ADITI
Most Reverent, Most High, Your Holiness
I - Grant me permission to see the ocean you hide behind you.
Aditi - Then you will spin the wheel of Karma and your hands are too weak.
Most Reverent, Most High, Your Holiness
I - Grant me permission to know the wisdom you hide behind you.
Aditi - Then you will know your destiny and the destiny of the earth and your mind is too weak.
I - How do I strengthen my hands and my mind?
Aditi - By praying without ceasing.
I - How do I pray without ceasing?
Aditi - By praying the answers to your questions until your mind is empty
and you float on the universal waters.
I - And what you the universal waters?
Aditi - The waters of the earth that gave birth to your lives and will end it.
The more you know the less there will be for you to know.
I - Then there will be nothing to know,
Aditi - No, when you know everything the unknown will destroy you.
I - Then I should strive to know nothing.
Most Reverent, Most High, Your Holiness
