Poem
1. At a mosque at Fatahpur, India, --- what was the capital city of the Mughal Empire, --- Akbar (r. 1556 - 1505), the third emperor of the Empire, had constructed the largest gateway in India. This imperial construct, Akbar's Triumphal Arch, was meant to symbolize the supremacy of the Empire. And emblazoned on this arch, on a panel of kufic script, are the words - Akbar commanded be put: "Jesus, the son of Mary (on whom be peace) said: "The World is a Bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it. He who hopes for a day, may hope for eternity, but the World endures but an hour. Spend it in prayer, for the rest is unseen." ***** "Entheogen" Hiway (Harmony, sin, redemption): "[Jesus' disciples asked] him, 'When will the Kingdom come?' Jesus said, 'It will not come by waiting for it. ... rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.'" --- From the ancient Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Saying 113 "Jesus said, 'It is I who am the Light which is above them all. It is I who am the All. From me did the All - come forth, and unto me did the All extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." --- From the ancient Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Saying 77 "Sometimes it is said that by meditation one will understand that God is - seated in the heart of the human being ... The Bhagavad-gita [confirms] this - with the declaration that Isvara, the supreme controller of the world, is seated in the heart of everyone. He is present, not only in everyone's heart, but also within the atoms. No place is vacant, no place is without the presence of the Lord." --- His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder - Acarya of the International Society For Krishna Consciousness (ISKON) "The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from me." --- Lord Krishna, from the Bhagavad-Gita [15.12] "Light and darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this, neither are the good good, nor the evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death. For this reason each one will dissolve into its original nature. But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal." --- From the ancient Gnostic Christian Gospel of Phillip
