@y_marriex @yakabikaj "Horses and elephants pull at the word of command. But the wise man understands even what is unsaid; the enlightened, the full content of what has been communicated only by a hint. There are meanings immanent and causative in verbal and visual symbols." - A.K. Coomaraswamy

Copy of two post thread: 1/ A.K. Coomaraswamy: "In the night of Brahman nature is inert and cannot dance until Shiva wills it. He rises from His rapture and, dancing, sends through inert matter pulsing waves of awakening sound; and lo! Matter also dances, appearing as a glory round about him...” 2/ “... Dancing, he sustains its manifold phenomena. In the fullness of time, still dancing, he destroys all forms and names by fire and gives new rest.”
