We seem to be walking in dreams.
Dreams are all right in a dream-mind; but as soon as you want to grasp one of them, it is gone.
Why? Not that it was false, but because it is beyond the power of reason, the power of the intellect to comprehend it.
Everything in this life is so vast that the intellect is nothing in comparison with it. It refuses to be bound by the laws of the intellect! It laughs at the bondage the intellect wants to spread around it.
And a thousandfold more so is this the case with the human soul.
"We ourselves"-- this is the greatest mystery of the universe.
