More From Rudyard Kipling

Take the case of the infinite ocean. there is no limit to its water. suppose a pot is immersed in it: there is water both inside and outside the pot. the jnani sees that both inside and outside there is nothing but paramatman. then what is this pot? it is 'i-consciousness'. because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside. one feels that way as long as this pot of 'i' exists. when the 'i' disappears, what is remains. that cannot be described in words.

The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. but the theory now goes that the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so's the plum, i suppose. the dear only knows what will next prove a rose. you, of course, are a rose - but were always a rose.

There's a tree that grows in brooklyn. some people call it the tree of heaven. no matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. it grows in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. it grows up out of cellar gratings. it is the only tree that grows out of cement. it grows lushly . . . survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. it would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.
Beautiful Growing Up Struggle
Moss grows where nothing else can grow. it grows on bricks. it grows on tree bark and roofing slate. it grows in the arctic circle and in the balmiest tropics; it also grows on the fur of sloths, on the backs of snails, on decaying human bones. ... it is a resurrection engine. a single clump of mosses can lie dormant and dry for forty years at a stretch, and then vault back again into life with a mere soaking of water.

My whole life has been spent walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone. sometimes i try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but i always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there i shall walk until the day i finally fall into the abyss.
Fall Jumping Trying
By the time i make my way to the border of mauritania, to the edge of the sahara, i see no end to being lost. you can spend your entire life simply falling in that direction. it isn't a station you reach but just the general state of going down. once you make it back, if you make it back, you will stand before your long-lost friends but in some essential way they will no longer know you.
Fall Long Essentials
Character is made by what you stand for;reputation by what you fall for.
Inspirational Fall Character
The poet is never inspired, because he is the master of that which appears to others as inspiration. he does not wait for inspiration to fall out of the heavens like roasted ortolans. he knows how to hunt...he is never inspired because he is unceasingly inspired, because the powers of poetry are always at his disposition, subjected to his will, submissive to his own activity.
