The inner cosmos

(PHOTO: LAURENCE FREEMAN, ITALY)

In our stranded state, we have lost the communication between the ordinary – that is, the real, the daily and what experience verifies – and the transcendent. We peer into the furthest corners of the cosmos for explanations of why we are here or for signs of life. Happily, we are insatiably curious. But we have forgotten to explore the inner cosmos of the heart. “That being, the size of a thumb, dwells deep within the heart. He is the Lord of time, past and future. Having attained him, one fears no more. He, truly, is the immortal Self.”(Katha Upanishad).
