An eminent jurist asked me to explain what an enlightened being is.

Someone so aware of the depth and mystery that he or she doesn't consider paradise or hell, usury or the prohibition against wine, this life or the possible resurrection. Such matters do not occur to a gnostic master, who simply knows himself or herself and says nothing of presence, whose soul is the wine of wisdom gone mad.

A candle has been lit inside me
for which the sun is a moth.
