“Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal.

“For the Persian poet Rumi, each human life is analogous to a bowl floating on the surface of an infinite ocean.Â As it moves along, it is slowly filling with the water around it.Â That's a metaphor for the acquisition of knowledge.Â When the water in the bowl finally reaches the same level as the water outside, there is no longer any need for the container, and it drops away as the inner water merges with the outside water.Â We call this the moment of death.Â That analogy returns to me over and over as a metaphor for ourselves.”
