@sssfCommunity 4/ Ananda Coomaraswamy defined such unceasing recognition of transcendent reality and empirical reality, matter and spirit, and subject and object, experienced as a simultaneous, single state, as, "The last achievement of all thought. Then there is no sacred or profane.”

Quoted by@artistklee Image from frontspiece of Ajit Mookerjee's Tantra Art: Its Philosophy & Physics. Basel, 1971: "As the author of the Chieh Tzu Yuan expresses it, "When painting has reached divinity (shen), there is an end of the matter." (Coomaraswarmy, Transformation of Nature in Art, p.22.)"Quoted by@CarlMcColman Rumi hit the mark: "Mystics are experts in laziness. They rely on it, because they continuously see God working all around them. The harvest keeps coming in, yet they never even did the plowing!" Certainly, an MO to live by. Don't play politics: let God handle strategy.
