The Bowl of Saki Commentary

There are just two ways to discuss this matter, the very nature and essence of which is really beyond discussion. From one point of view, the process of apprehension of truth is in the first place a living heart awakening and growth. Even then the reality of completion comes only after the heart is fully awakened, and the self explored. Word, form, thought, symbolism, effect, or explanation can but point to a sort of Neti ("not this"), as the Hindus describe it. That is to say, truth is depicted as being a reality that is different from anything and everything which can be depicted.

But from the metaphysical point of view, theosophically expressed, Truth, in the state and stage of Absolute Unity, is all which is called Rupa and Arupa—all that is in name and form and all that is without name and form, a Unity which while being Unity includes every degree and variety of complexity. So it is not only the life above the mind-mesh, it is the realization that this life beyond the mental, called Buddhic, includes also every sort of condition, actual and potential, so that all Heaven and Hell appear as part of one's being. This cannot be easily discussed, as it is clouded by every process except the highest forms of meditation and contemplation.
