“the tiniest of hearts” ~Lorca, “Preludio”
“All beings possess egos and therefore all beings have personalities. The cosmos Herself possesses
the ultimate personality, the supreme expression of the totality of manifested existence: the Adishakti, or Adya.”
~ Robert E. Svoboda, AGHORA, At the Left Hand of God, p. 7
If every smaller cosmos (each inside
Another) and the universe, the Whole
One, compassing the others, counts, which guide
Can help us comprehend our mortal goal?
The poet Lorca posits that love’s hearts
From largest to the tiniest might aid
The search and explanation, but the charts
Are far too many. Various faiths have weighed
In with directions and presumptions. Brains
Inside philosophy’s fraught realms, none more
So than in India, have taught us strains
Unbounded, limits stretched past every shore.
Souls held, closed up in spheroids, must escape
Through transmigration to a heartless shape.
